# maxdb_real_connect

(PECL)

maxdb_real_connect

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

maxdb->real_connect -- 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 [, string socket]]]]]] )

Object oriented style (method)

class maxdb {
bool real_connect ( [string hostname [, string username [, string passwd [, string dbname [, int port [, 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.

## See Also

maxdb_connect(), maxdb_init(), maxdb_options(), maxdb_ssl_set(), maxdb_close().

## Example

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 examples would produce the following output:

    Connection: localhost <...>
