Description:
------------
The mysql_ping() function could not return the response time of the database server (or the ping time of its host) instead of just return TRUE? This could be useful for test if a connection is slow or the server is remote and user of not compression (I don't know if this could work anyway). Well, PHP could aslo have functions for ping and traceroute, to check if servers are up before attempt to connect on them with mysql_connect(), fsockopen(), file(), etc.  :-)

PHP's function mysql_ping uses the mysqli api function mysql_ping 
which doesn't support this functionality. 
 
mysqling doesn't work like the ping command, it checks if the 
connections is alive and if not it tries to reconnect.

Okay, I understand. But, what about a new ping and traceroute functions? :-)
