Description
int
msql_connect ( [string hostname] )
msql_connect() establishes a connection to a
mSQL server. The hostname parameter can also
include a port number. e.g. "hostname:port".
If the hostname is 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.
Returns a positive mSQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on
error.
In case a second call is made to
msql_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
msql_close().

msql_pconnect() and
msql_close().
