Display MySQL server uptime in PHP

Stanislav KhromovStanislav Khromov

With this snippet you can print the uptime of a MySQL server from a PHP script. It uses PDO to make the connection.

If you know a simpler way to do this, feel free to post a comment!

try
{                               
    $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database_name', 'user', 'password');
    foreach($dbh->query("SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Uptime'") as $row)
    {
        echo ' MySQL server OK, uptime ';   
        echo ($row['Value'] >= 31557000) ? ' >365 days' : (gmdate("z", ($row['Value'])) . ' days, ' . gmdate("H:i", $row['Value']));                        
    }
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
    print "MySQL server error: <br/> " . $e->getMessage();
}

The result will look something like this:
