mysqli::change_user
mysqli_change_user
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
mysqli::change_user -- mysqli_change_user — Changes the user of the specified database connection
Description
Object oriented style
public mysqli::change_user ( string $user , string $password , string $database ) : bool
Procedural style
mysqli_change_user ( mysqli $link , string $user , string $password , string $database ) : bool
Changes the user of the specified database connection and sets the current database.
In order to successfully change users a valid username and password parameters must be provided and that user must have sufficient permissions to access the desired database. If for any reason authorization fails, the current user authentication will remain.
Parameters
-
link -
Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()
-
user -
The MySQL user name.
-
password -
The MySQL password.
-
database -
The database to change to.
If desired, the
nullvalue may be passed resulting in only changing the user and not selecting a database. To select a database in this case use the mysqli_select_db() function.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Notes
Note:
Using this command will always cause the current database connection to behave as if was a completely new database connection, regardless of if the operation was completed successfully. This reset includes performing a rollback on any active transactions, closing all temporary tables, and unlocking all locked tables.

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Set Variable a */
$mysqli->query("SET @a:=1");
/* reset all and select a new database */
$mysqli->change_user("my_user", "my_password", "world");
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")) {
$row = $result->fetch_row();
printf("Default database: %s\n", $row[0]);
$result->close();
}
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT @a")) {
$row = $result->fetch_row();
if ($row[0] === NULL) {
printf("Value of variable a is NULL\n");
}
$result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?> Procedural style
<?php

}
/* Set Variable a */
mysqli_query($link, "SET @a:=1");

mysqli_change_user($link, "my_user", "my_password", "world");
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT DATABASE()")) {
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
printf("Default database: %s\n", $row[0]);
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT @a")) {
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
if ($row[0] === NULL) {
printf("Value of variable a is NULL\n");
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
