mssql_connect

mssql_connect

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

mssql_connect -- Open MS SQL server connection

Description

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

mssql_connect() establishes a connection to a MS SQL server. The servername argument has to be a valid servername that is defined in the 'interfaces' file.

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().

Parameters

servername

The MS SQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. hostname:port.

username

The username.

password

The password.

new_link

If a second call is made to mssql_connect() 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() always open a new link, even if mssql_connect() was called before with the same parameters.

Return Values

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