预定义常量

下列常量由此扩展定义，且仅在此扩展编译入 PHP 或在运行时动态载入时可用。

在 PHP 4.3.0 以后的版本中，允许在 mysql_connect() 函数和 mysql_pconnect() 函数中指定更多的客户端标记。下面列出所定义的常量：

MySQL 客户端常量
常量 说明
MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS 使用压缩的通讯协议
MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE 允许在函数名后留空格位
MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE 允许设置断开连接之前所空闲等候的 interactive_timeout 时间（代替 wait_timeout）。
MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL 使用 SSL 加密。本标志仅在 MySQL 客户端库版本为 4.x 或更高版本时可用。在 PHP 4 和 Windows 版的 PHP 5 安装包中绑定的都是 3.23.x。

mysql_fetch_array() 函数使用一个常量来表示所返回数组的类型。下面是常量的定义：

MySQL fetch 常量
常量 说明
MYSQL_ASSOC 返回的数据列使用字段名作为数组的索引名。
MYSQL_BOTH 返回的数据列使用字段名及数字索引作为数组的索引名。
MYSQL_NUM 返回的数据列使用数字索引作为数组的索引名。索引从 0 开始，表示返回结果的第一个字段。

If you're using stored procedures and mysql_error() returns "PROCEDURE storedProcedureName can't return a result set in the given context", you need to pass an additional flag (CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS) to mysql_connect() as such:
mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password, true, 131072);

Some other sources say that you should use 65536. 65536 is actually the flag to allow multiple statements in a single mysql_query(), and is a security issue. The reason it allows you to receive results from stored procedures is because it implies 131072. To be safe, use 131072 over 65536.

When you connect and expect to use a stored procedure,you must pass a special flag to MySQL via the connect command, otherwise you will not get the results returned, and it will result in this error:
PROCEDURE AlexGrim.GetStats_ForumCategories can't return a result set in the given context

To fix this, change you connection string, adding ",false,65536" as the last 2 fields:
$this->con = mysql_connect($this->h,$this->u,$this->p,false,65536);
