# ingres_connect

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5 <= 5.0.4)

ingres_connect -- Open a connection to an Ingres II database

## Description

resource ingres_connect ( [string database [, string username [, string password]]] )

Returns a Ingres II link resource on success, or `FALSE` on failure.

ingres_connect() opens a connection with the Ingres database designated by database, which follows the syntax [node_id::]dbname[/svr_class].

If some parameters are missing, ingres_connect() uses the values in `php.ini` for ingres.default_database, ingres.default_user, and ingres.default_password.

The connection is closed when the script ends or when ingres_close() is called on this link.

All the other ingres functions use the last opened link as a default, so you need to store the returned value only if you use more than one link at a time.

Example 1. ingres_connect() example
`<?php $link = ingres_connect("mydb", "user", "pass") or die("Could not connect"); echo "Connected successfully"; ingres_close($link); ?>`

Example 2. ingres_connect() example using default link
`<?php ingres_connect("mydb", "user", "pass") or die("Could not connect"); echo "Connected successfully"; ingres_close(); ?>`

See also ingres_pconnect() and ingres_close().
