ifx_connect -- Open Informix server connection

Description

int ifx_connect ( [string database [, string userid [, string password]]])

Returns a connection identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

ifx_connect() establishes a connection to an Informix server. All of the arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in configuration file (ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the password (none if not defined).

In case a second call is made to ifx_connect() 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 ifx_close().

See also ifx_pconnect(), and ifx_close().

Example 1. Connect to a Informix database

$conn_id = ifx_connect ("mydb@ol_srv1", "imyself", "mypassword");
