Opens a connection to a MaxDB server

Description

Procedural style

bool maxdb_real_connect ( resource $link [, string $hostname [, string $username [, string $passwd [, string $dbname [, int $port = 0 [, string $socket ]]]]]] )

Object oriented style

bool maxdb::real_connect ([ string $hostname [, string $username [, string $passwd [, string $dbname [, int $port = 0 [, string $socket ]]]]]] )

maxdb_real_connect attempts to establish a connection to a MaxDB database engine running on hostname.

This function differs from maxdb_connect:

maxdb_real_connect needs a valid resource which has to be created by function maxdb_init
With function maxdb_options 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\n", maxdb_connect_error());
   exit();
}

printf ("Connection: %s\n.", $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\n", maxdb_connect_error());
   exit();
}

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

maxdb_close($link);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Connection: localhost <...>
