ibase_pconnect - Open a persistent connection to an InterBase database

SYNOPSIS

       resource  ibase_pconnect  ([string   $database],  [string   $username],	[string   $password],  [string	 $charset],  [int  $buffers], [int
       $dialect], [string  $role], [int  $sync])

DESCRIPTION

	Opens a persistent connection to an InterBase database.

       ibase_pconnect(3) acts very much like ibase_connect(3) with two major differences.

	First, when connecting, the function will first try to find a (persistent) link that's already opened with the same parameters. If one	is
       found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.

	Second,  the  connection  to  the InterBase server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain
       open for future use (ibase_close(3) will not close links established by ibase_pconnect(3)). This type of link is therefore called  'persis-
       tent'.

PARAMETERS

	      o $database
		-  The $database argument has to be a valid path to database file on the server it resides on. If the server is not local, it must
		be prefixed with either 'hostname:' (TCP/IP), '//hostname/' (NetBEUI) or 'hostname@' (IPX/SPX), depending on the connection proto-
		col used.

	      o $username
		- The user name. Can be set with the ibase.default_user php.ini directive.

	      o $password
		- The password for $username. Can be set with the ibase.default_password php.ini directive.

	      o $charset
		-$charset is the default character set for a database.

	      o $buffers
		-$buffers  is  the  number  of	database  buffers  to  allocate for the server-side cache. If 0 or omitted, server chooses its own
		default.

	      o $dialect
		-$dialect selects the default SQL dialect for any statement executed within a connection, and it defaults to the highest one  sup-
		ported by client libraries. Functional only with InterBase 6 and up.

	      o $role
		- Functional only with InterBase 5 and up.

	      o $sync
		-

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an InterBase link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

mssql_connect - Open MS SQL server connection

SYNOPSIS

       resource mssql_connect ([string	$servername], [string  $username], [string  $password], [bool  $new_link = false])

DESCRIPTION

       mssql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a MS SQL server.

	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
       mssql_close(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $servername
		- The MS SQL server. It can also include a port number, e.g.  hostname:port (Linux), or hostname,port (Windows).

	      o $username
		- The username.

	      o $password
		- The password.

	      o $new_link
		- If a second call is made to mssql_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. This parameter modifies this behavior and makes mssql_connect(3) always
		open a new link, even if mssql_connect(3) was called before with the same parameters.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
