mysql_stat -- Get current system status
Description
string 
mysql_stat ( [resource link_identifier])
     mysql_stat() returns the current server status.     
Note:        mysql_stat() currently only returns status for uptime,       threads, queries, open tables, flush tables and queries per second. For a       complete list of other status variables you have to use the SHOW STATUS       SQL command.      
     
| Example 1. mysql_stat() example | <?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
$status = explode('  ', mysql_stat($link));
print_r($status);
 ?> | 
 
       The above example would produce the following output:        | Array
(
    [0] => Uptime: 5380
    [1] => Threads: 2
    [2] => Questions: 1321299
    [3] => Slow queries: 0
    [4] => Opens: 26
    [5] => Flush tables: 1
    [6] => Open tables: 17
    [7] => Queries per second avg: 245.595
