Description

resource ingres_connect ( [string database [, string username [, string password]]])

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(); ?>
