ingres_connect

Description

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 $link = ingres_connect ("mydb", "user", "pass") or die ("Could not connect"); print ("Connected successfully"); ingres_close ($link); ?>

Example 2. ingres_connect() example using default link <?php ingres_connect ("mydb", "user", "pass") or die ("Could not connect"); print ("Connected successfully"); ingres_close (); ?>
