ifx_connect
(PHP 3>= 3.0.3, PHP 4 )
ifx_connect -- Open Informix server connection
Description
int ifx_connect ( [string database [, string userid [, string
password]]])
Returns a connection identifier on success, or FALSE on
error.
ifx_connect() establishes a connection to an Informix server.
All of the arguments are optional, and if they're missing,
defaults are taken from values supplied in configuration
file (ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries
will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined),
ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the
password (none if not defined).
In case a second call is made to ifx_connect() with the
same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead,
the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned.
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution
of the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly
calling ifx_close().
Example 1. Connect to a Informix database
<?php
$conn_id = ifx_connect ("mydb@ol_srv1", "imyself",
"mypassword");
?>
