maxdb_connect_error - Returns a string description of the last connect error

SYNOPSIS

       string maxdb_connect_error (void  )

DESCRIPTION

	The  maxdb_connect_error(3)  function  is  identical  to the corresponding maxdb_connect_errno(3) function in every way, except instead of
       returning an integer error code the maxdb_connect_error(3) function will return a string representation of the last error to occur for  the
       last maxdb_connect(3) call. If no error has occurred, this function will return an empty string.

RETURN VALUES

	A string that describes the error. An empty string if no error occurred.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      maxdb_connect_error sample

	      <?php

	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "nonexisting_user", "");

	      if (!$link) {
		 printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
	      }
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       PHP Warning:  maxdb_connect(): -4008 POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination <...>
       Can't connect to localhost. Error: POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination

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
