# MySQL Functions

## Notes

> Note:

> Most MySQL functions accept `link_identifier` as the last optional parameter. If it is not provided, last opened connection is used. If it doesn't exist, connection is tried to establish with default parameters defined in php.ini. If it is not successful, functions return `FALSE`.
