ibase_pconnect
(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
ibase_pconnect -- Open a persistent connection to an InterBase
database
Description
resource ibase_pconnect ( string database [, string username
[, string password [, string charset [, int buffers [, int
dialect [, string role]]]]]])
ibase_pconnect() acts very much like ibase_connect() with
two major differences. First, when connecting, the function
will first try to find a (persistent) link that's already
opened with the same parameters. If one is found, an identifier
for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
Second, the connection to the InterBase server will not
be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead,
the link will remain open for future use (ibase_close()
will not close links established by ibase_pconnect()). This
type of link is therefore called 'persistent'.
Note: buffers was added in PHP4-RC2.
Note: dialect was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only
with InterBase 6 and versions higher than that.
Note: role was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only
with InterBase 5 and versions higher than that.
See also ibase_close() and ibase_connect() for the meaning
of parameters passed to this function. They are exactly
the same.
