PHPAPI

You can use the module by loading it in your PHP script and calling SQL Relay functions.

For example:

dl("sql_relay.so");$con=sqlrcon_alloc("adasz",9000,"","user1","password1",0,1);$cur=sqlrcur_alloc($con);sqlrcur_sendQuery($cur,"select table_name from user_tables");sqlrcon_endSession($con);for ($i=0; $i  
An alternative to running dl(sql_relay.so) is to put a line like:
 extension=sql_relay.so  
In your php.ini file. Doing this will improve performance as the library isn't loaded and unloaded each time a script runs, but only once when the web-server is started.
 FUNCTIONS int sqlrcon_alloc(string server, int port, string socket, string user, string password, int retrytime, int tries)  
Initiates a connection to "server" on "port" or to the unix "socket" on the local machine and authenticates with "user" and "password". Failed connections will be retried for "tries" times on interval "retrytime". If "tries" is 0 then retries will continue forever. If "retrytime" is 0 then retries will be attempted on a default interval.
  
If the "socket" parameter is nether NULL nor "" then an attempt will be made to connect through it before attempting to connect to "server" on "port". If it is NULL or "" then no attempt will be made to connect through the socket.*/
  
 
 void sqlrcon_free(int sqlrconref)  
Disconnects and terminates the session if it hasn't been terminated already.
  
 
 void sqlrcon_setTimeout(int timeoutsec, int timeoutusec)

 void sqlrcon_endSession(int sqlrconref)  
terminates the session
  
 
 void sqlrcon_suspendSession(int sqlrconref)

 int sqlrcon_getConnectionPort(int sqlrconref)  
Returns the inet port that the client is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another client for use in the sqlrcon_resumeSession() command. Note: the value returned by this function is only valid after a call to sqlrcur_suspendSession().
  
 
 string sqlrcon_getConnectionSocket(int sqlrconref)  
Returns the unix socket that the client is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another client for use in the sqlrcon_resumeSession() command. Note: the value returned by this function is only valid after a call to sqlrcur_suspendSession().
  
 
 int sqlrcon_resumeSession(int sqlrconref, int port, string socket)  
Resumes a session previously left open using sqlrcon_suspendSession(). Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

Instructs the database to wait for the client to tell it when to commit.
  
 
 int sqlrcon_commit(int sqlrconref)  
Issues a commit. Returns 1 if the commit succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an error occurred.
  
 
 int sqlrcon_rollback(int sqlrconref)  
Issues a rollback. Returns 1 if the rollback succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an error occurred.
  
 
 void sqlrcon_debugOn(int sqlrconref)

Note that once sqlrcur_cacheToFile() is called, the result sets of all future queries will be cached to that file until another call to sqlrcur_cacheToFile() changes which file to cache to or a call to sqlrcur_cacheOff() turns off caching.
  
 
 void sqlrcur_setCacheTtl(int sqlrcurref, int ttl)
