   (PHP 4 >= 4.0.2)
   ingres_connect --  Open a connection to an Ingres II database

Description

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

   Warning

   This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the
   name of this function, and anything else documented about this
   function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use
   this function at your own risk.

   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();
   ?>
