MySQL Connection Details

[The Letter E]

Perhaps this is a rather lay question, but, is there a way to gather specific connection details about an open MySQL connection in php?

 

Example:

<?php
    $connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
?>

Using the $connect variable, could I run a command that dumps the host, and username to a log file??

 

Thanks in advance, I'm still searching.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?

Aren't you defining the host, user etc anyway?

This is going into an object that will be managing multiple connections.

Couldn't you just use a function to connect (function conn($hosst, $user, $pass etc)) and log from that?

Using a connection resource, you cannot extract any of the connection details. This is a security feature as you don't want your database info available if you don't need it.
