(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3, PHP 5)

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 db 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.
