The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level warning is generated.
A result pointer resource on success, or FALSE on failure.
The returned result can be used with mysql_field_flags(), mysql_field_len(), mysql_field_name() and mysql_field_type().
