msql_connect - Open mSQL connection

SYNOPSIS
       resource msql_connect ([string  $hostname])

DESCRIPTION
       msql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a mSQL server.

	If  a second call is made to msql_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.

	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
       msql_close(3).

PARAMETERS
	      o $hostname
		-  The hostname can also include a port number. e.g.  hostname,port.  If not specified, the connection is established by the means
		of a Unix domain socket, being then more efficient then a localhost TCP socket connection.

	      Note

		      While this function will accept a colon ( :) as a host/port separator, a comma ( ,) is the preferred method.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns a positive mSQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
