> Note:

> Failing to call the parent implementation may cause memory leaks or crash PHP. This is not considered a bug. Please, keep in mind that the `mysqlnd` library functions have never been designed to be exposed to the user space.

### Parameters

  Mysqlnd connection handle. Do not modify!

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success. Otherwise, returns `FALSE`

### Examples

Example #1 MysqlndUhConnection::init() example

`<?php
class proxy extends MysqlndUhConnection {
public function init($res) {
printf("%s(%s)\n", __METHOD__, var_export(func_get_args(), true));
$ret = parent::init($res);
printf("%s returns %s\n", __METHOD__, var_export($ret, true));
return $ret;
}
}
mysqlnd_uh_set_connection_proxy(new proxy());
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "test");
?>`

The above example will output:
