ingres_connect
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2)
ingres_connect -- Open a connection to an Ingres II database
Description
resource ingres_connect ( [string database [, string username
[, string password]]])
Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function,
the name of this function, and anything else documented
about this function may change without notice in a future
release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.
Returns a Ingres II link resource on success, or FALSE
on failure.
ingres_connect() opens a connection with the Ingres database
designated by database, which follows the syntax [node_id::]dbname[/svr_class].
If some parameters are missing, ingres_connect() uses the
values in php.ini for ingres.default_database, ingres.default_user,
and ingres.default_password.
The connection is closed when the script ends or when ingres_close()
is called on this link.
All the other ingres functions use the last opened link
as a default, so you need to store the returned value only
if you use more than one link at a time.
Example 1. ingres_connect() example
<?php
$link = ingres_connect("mydb", "user",
"pass")
or die("Could not connect");
echo "Connected successfully";
ingres_close($link);
?>
Example 2. ingres_connect() example using default link
<?php
ingres_connect("mydb", "user", "pass")
or die("Could not connect");
echo "Connected successfully";
ingres_close();
?>
