(3.0.6 - 3.0.18 only, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)
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.
