dologin.php

This script performs a login to the database and stores the connection parameters in the server session. A new server session is created if necessary.

dologin.php processes the following HTTP parameters:

dburl
the database URL used to connect to the database server from PHP
user
the database user name.
password
the password of the database user.

If the login succeeds, the response from dologin.php is an XML document as follows:

<result>
        <sessionid>session id</sessionid>
        <param name='transaction-isolation'>transaction isolation</param>
        <param name='catalog-term'>catalog term</param>
        <param name='schema-term'>schema term</param>
        ...
        <warning>
                <reason>error message</reason>
                <sqlstate>SQL state</sqlstate>
                <vendor-code>vendor code</vendor-code>
        </warning>
</result>

In case of an error, the resulting response is:

<result>
        <error>
                <reason>error message</reason>
                <sqlstate>SQL state</sqlstate>
                <vendor-code>vendor code</vendor-code>
        </error>
</result>

The following parameters are now deprecated:

host
the host name of IP address of the database server.
port
the port the database server is listening to.
database
the name of the MySQL database.
