MSQL_CONNECT(3) 														   MSQL_CONNECT(3)

msql_connect - Open mSQL connection

SYNOPSIS

       resource msql_connect ([string  $hostname])

DESCRIPTION

       msql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a mSQL server.

	If  a second call is made to msql_connect(3) 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
       msql_close(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $hostname
		-  The hostname can also include a port number. e.g.  hostname,port.  If not specified, the connection is established by the means
		of a Unix domain socket, being then more efficient then a localhost TCP socket connection.

	      Note

		      While this function will accept a colon ( :) as a host/port separator, a comma ( ,) is the preferred method.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a positive mSQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

mssql_connect - Open MS SQL server connection

SYNOPSIS

       resource mssql_connect ([string	$servername], [string  $username], [string  $password], [bool  $new_link = false])

DESCRIPTION

       mssql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a MS SQL server.

	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
       mssql_close(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $servername
		- The MS SQL server. It can also include a port number, e.g.  hostname:port (Linux), or hostname,port (Windows).

	      o $username
		- The username.

	      o $password
		- The password.

	      o $new_link
		- If a second call is made to mssql_connect(3) with the same arguments, no new link will be established,  but  instead,  the  link
		identifier  of	the  already opened link will be returned. This parameter modifies this behavior and makes mssql_connect(3) always
		open a new link, even if mssql_connect(3) was called before with the same parameters.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
