odbc_pconnect

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

odbc_pconnect — Open a persistent database connection

Description

resource odbc_pconnect ( string $dsn , string $user , string $password [, int $cursor_type ] )

Opens a persistent database connection.

This function is much like odbc_connect(), except that the connection is not really closed when the script has finished. Future requests for a connection with the same dsn , user , password combination (via odbc_connect() and odbc_pconnect()) can reuse the persistent connection.

Parameters

See odbc_connect() for details.

Return Values

Returns an ODBC connection id or 0 (FALSE) on error.

Notes

Note: Persistent connections have no effect if PHP is used as a CGI program.
