<para>
This function returns a positive ID on success; zero on
failure.

<para>
<function>yaz_connect</function> prepares for a connection to a
Z39.50 target. The zurl argument takes the form
host[:port][/database]. If port is omitted 210 is used. If
database is omitted Default is used. This function is
non-blocking and doesn't attempt to establish a socket - it
merely prepares a connect to be performed later when
<function>yaz_wait</function> is called.
</para>
<para>
If the second argument, <parameter>options</parameter>, is given as
a string it is treated as the Z39.50 V2 authentication string
(OpenAuth).
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>options</parameter> is given as an array the contents
of the array serves as options. Note that array options are only
supported for PHP 4.1.0 and later.

<simpara>A boolean. If &true; the connection is persistent; If
&false; the connection is not persistent. By default connections are
persistent.

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>piggyback</term><listitem>
<simpara>A boolean. If &true; piggyback is enabled for
searches; If &false; piggyback is disabled.
By default piggyback is enabled. Enabling piggyback is more efficient
and usually saves a network-round-trip for first time fetches of records.
However, a few Z39.50 targets doesn't support piggyback or they ignore
element set names. For those, piggyback should be disabled.
