ibase_pconnect

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

ibase_pconnect — Creates an persistent connection to an InterBase database

Description

int 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_connect() for the meaning of parameters passed to this function. They are exactly the same.
