The host, database,
username and password

functions for the abstracted module.
Return Values
Returns an object on success, FALSE on error. If a connection has been
made but the database could not be selected, the connection is closed and
FALSE is returned.
The returned object has three properties:
- database
- It is the name of the currently selected database.
- handle
-
It is a valid handle for the connected database, and as such it can be used in module-specific functions (if required).
<?php
$link = dbx_connect(DBX_MYSQL, "localhost", "db", "username", "password");
mysql_close($link->handle); // dbx_close($link) would be better here
?> - module
- It is used internally by dbx only, and is actually the module number mentioned above.
Examples
Example #1 dbx_connect() example
<?php
$link = dbx_connect(DBX_ODBC, "", "db", "username", "password", DBX_PERSISTENT)
or die("Could not connect");
echo "Connected successfully";
dbx_close($link);
?>
