               string dbNameOrPath, 
               [resource link_identifier,] 
               [string encription_key,]
               [int data_kind] )

Parameters

Name Description
database_nameThe name of the database that is to be selected.

Description

Sets the current active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier. Every subsequent call to valentina_query() will be made on the active database.

In the LOCAL mode this function acts as db.open().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example 1.

<?php
 
$link = valentina_connect('localhost', 'val_user', 'val_password');
if (!$link) {
   die('Not connected : ' . valentina_error());
}
 
// make foo the current db
$db_selected = valentina_select_db('foo', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
   die ('Can\'t use foo : ' . valentina_error());
}
?>
