# ovrimos_connect

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)

ovrimos_connect -- Connect to the specified database

## Description

int ovrimos_connect ( string host, string db, string user, string password)

ovrimos_connect() is used to connect to the specified database.

ovrimos_connect() returns a connection id (greater than 0) or 0 for failure. The meaning of 'host' and 'port' are those used everywhere in Ovrimos APIs. 'Host' is a host name or IP address and 'db' is either a database name, or a string containing the port number.

Example 1. ovrimos_connect() Example

    <?php
    $conn = ovrimos_connect ("server.domain.com", "8001", "admin", "password");
    if ($conn != 0) {
        echo "Connection ok!";
        $res=ovrimos_exec ($conn, "select table_id, table_name from sys.tables");
        if ($res != 0) {
            echo "Statement ok!";
            ovrimos_result_all ($res);
            ovrimos_free_result ($res);
        }
        ovrimos_close($conn);
    }
    ?>

The above example will connect to the database and print out the specified table.
