MAXDB_CONNECT(3) 1 MAXDB_CONNECT(3) maxdb_connect - Open a new connection to the MaxDB server Procedural style SYNOPSIS
resource maxdb_connect ([string $host], [string $username], [string $passwd], [string $dbname], [int $port], [string $socket]) DESCRIPTION
Object oriented style maxdb::__construct ([string $host], [string $username], [string $passwd], [string $dbname], [int $port], [string $socket]) The maxdb_connect(3) function attempts to open a connection to the MaxDB Server running on $host which can be either a host name or an IP address. Passing the string "localhost" to this parameter, the local host is assumed. If successful, the maxdb_connect(3) will return an resource representing the connection to the database or FALSE on failure. The $username and $password parameters specify the username and password under which to connect to the MaxDB server. If the password is not provided (the NULL value is passed), the MaxDB server will attempt to authenticate the user against the $maxdb.default_pw in php.ini. The $dbname parameter if provided will specify the default database to be used when performing queries. If not provied, the entry $maxdb.default_db in php.ini is used. The $port and $socket parameters are ignored for the MaxDB server. RETURN VALUES
Returns a resource which represents the connection to a MaxDB Server or FALSE if the connection failed. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } printf("Host information: %s ", $maxdb->host_info); /* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (!$link) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } printf("Host information: %s ", maxdb_get_host_info($link)); /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Host information: localhost PHP Documentation Group MAXDB_CONNECT(3)
