Yeah right. Did you actually take a look? Reading the source gives me more information. I know it returns an integer, and needs a mysql connection. It's the mysql connection itself and the closer, which are handled by, mysql_simple_command() and the mysql struct. What I want to know, is: 1) after reading the header, how should one respond? 2) Is a command necessary, or can one close after succesfully authenticating? 3) Is there a sign-off? Ie - what does a minimal valid connection look like?
