                                  ifx_connect

   (PHP 3>= 3.0.3, PHP 4 )
   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().

   Example 1. Connect to a Informix database
   <?php
   $conn_id = ifx_connect ("mydb@ol_srv1", "imyself", "mypassword");
   ?>

   See also ifx_pconnect() and ifx_close().
