Question

I am dealing with a (PHP5) class that uses a MySQL resource (public $_conn). When I do print_r($this->-conn), I get a text such as Resource id #30.

Is it possible to get the connection details for that particular resource? I have to get at least the MySQL username?

Answer 1

You should have the username somewhere in your files, so you can create the connection resource. But you can obtain the current user with the following SQL command:

SELECT CURRENT_USER();

The PHP Code for this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT CURRENT_USER()",$this->_conn);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$username = $row[0];
