       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
       bool  maxdb_real_connect  (resource   $link,  [string  $hostname], [string  $username], [string	$passwd], [string  $dbname], [int  $port],
       [string	$socket])

DESCRIPTION
       Object oriented style
       bool maxdb::real_connect ([string  $hostname], [string  $username], [string  $passwd], [string  $dbname], [int  $port], [string	$socket])

       maxdb_real_connect(3) attempts to establish a connection to a MaxDB database engine running on $hostname.

	This function differs from maxdb_connect(3):

	      omaxdb_real_connect(3) needs a valid resource which has to be created by function maxdb_init(3)

	      o With function maxdb_options(3) you can set various options for connection.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php

	      /* create a connection object which is not connected */
	      $maxdb = maxdb_init();

	      /* set connection options */
	      $maxdb->options(MAXDB_UNICODE, "FALSE");
	      $maxdb->options(MAXDB_TIMEOUT, 5);

	      /* connect to server */
	      $maxdb->real_connect('localhost', 'MONA', 'RED', 'DEMODB');

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      printf ("Connection: %s
.", $maxdb->host_info);

	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php

	      /* create a connection object which is not connected */
	      $link = maxdb_init();

	      /* set connection options */
	      maxdb_options($link, MAXDB_UNICODE, "FALSE");
	      maxdb_options($link, MAXDB_TIMEOUT, 5);

	      /* connect to server */
	      maxdb_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'MONA', 'RED', 'DEMODB');

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      printf ("Connection: %s
.", maxdb_get_host_info($link));

	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       Connection: localhost <...>
