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.
