fbsql_connect - Open a connection to a FrontBase Server
SYNOPSIS
resource fbsql_connect ([string $hostname = ini_get("fbsql.default_host")], [string $username = ini_get("fbsql.default_user")], [string
$password = ini_get("fbsql.default_password")])
DESCRIPTION
fbsql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a FrontBase server.
If a second call is made to fbsql_connect(3) 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
fbsql_close(3).
PARAMETERS
o $hostname
- The server host name.
o $username
- The user name for the connection.
o $password
- The password for the connection.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a positive FrontBase link identifier on success, or FALSE on errors.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
fbsql_connect(3) example
<?php
$link = fbsql_connect("localhost", "_SYSTEM", "secret")
or die("Could not connect");
echo "Connected successfully";
fbsql_close($link);
?>
