Establishes a connection to an InterBase server. The database argument has to be a
valid path to database file on the server it resides on. If
the server is not local, it must be prefixed with either
'hostname:' (TCP/IP), '//hostname/' (NetBEUI) or 'hostname@'
(IPX/SPX), depending on the connection protocol used. username and password can also be specified with
PHP configuration directives ibase.default_user and
ibase.default_password.
charset is the default character set for a database.
buffers is the number of
database buffers to allocate for the server-side cache. If 0
or omitted, server chooses its own default. dialect selects the default SQL
dialect for any statement executed within a connection, and
it defaults to the highest one supported by client
libraries.
In case a second call is made to
ibase_connect() 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
ibase_close().
注: The optional buffers parameter was added in PHP 4.0.0.
注: The optional dialect parameter was added in PHP 4.0.0 and is functional only with InterBase 6 and up.
注: The optional role parameter was added in PHP 4.0.0 and is functional only with InterBase 5 and up.
