int mysqli_get_client_version ( mysqli $link )

Object oriented style

int $mysqli->client_version;

Procedural style

Returns client version number as an integer.

Returns:

A number that represents the MySQL client library version in format: main_version*10000 + minor_version *100 + sub_version. For example, 4.1.0 is returned as 40100.

This is useful to quickly determine the version of the client library to know if some capability exists.

mysqli_get_client_version

<?php

/* We don't need a connection to determine
   the version of mysql client library */

printf("Client library version: %d\n", mysqli_get_client_version());
?>
