| Warning | 
| This function is
EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the
name of this function, and anything else documented about this
function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. 
Use this function at your own risk. | 
     Returns a Ingres II link resource on success, or FALSE on
     failure.
    
     ingres_connect() opens a connection with the
     Ingres database designated by database,
     which follows the syntax
     [node_id::]dbname[/svr_class].
    
     If some parameters are missing, ingres_connect()
     uses the values in php.ini for
     ingres.default_database,
     ingres.default_user, and
     ingres.default_password.
    
     The connection is closed when the script ends or when
     ingres_close() is called on this link.
    
     All the other ingres functions use the last opened link as a
     default, so you need to store the returned value only if you use
     more than one link at a time.

     | Example 2. 
       ingres_connect() example using default link
       | 
<?phpingres_connect("mydb", "user", "pass")
 or die("Could not connect");
 echo "Connected successfully";
 ingres_close();
