fbsql_database_password - Sets or retrieves the password for a FrontBase database

SYNOPSIS

       string fbsql_database_password (resource  $link_identifier, [string  $database_password])

DESCRIPTION

	Sets  and  retrieves  the  database password used by the connection. If a database is protected by a database password, the user must call
       this function before calling fbsql_select_db(3).

	If no link is open, the function will try to establish a link as if fbsql_connect(3) was called, and use it.

	This function does not change the database password in the database nor can it be used to retrieve the database password for a database.

PARAMETERS

	      o $
		link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified,  the
		function  will	try  to  find  an  open  link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

	      o $database_password
		- The database password, as a string. If given, the function sets the database password for the specified link identifier.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the database password associated with the link identifier.

	      fbsql_database_password($link, "secret db password");

ibase_pconnect - Open a persistent connection to an InterBase database

SYNOPSIS

       resource  ibase_pconnect  ([string   $database],  [string   $username],	[string   $password],  [string	 $charset],  [int  $buffers], [int
       $dialect], [string  $role], [int  $sync])

DESCRIPTION

	Opens a persistent connection to an InterBase database.

       ibase_pconnect(3) acts very much like ibase_connect(3) 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(3) will not close links established by ibase_pconnect(3)). This type of link is therefore called  'persis-
       tent'.

PARAMETERS

	      o $database
		-  The $database argument has to be a valid path to database file on the server it resides on. If the server is not local, it must
		be prefixed with either 'hostname:' (TCP/IP), '//hostname/' (NetBEUI) or 'hostname@' (IPX/SPX), depending on the connection proto-
		col used.

	      o $username
		- The user name. Can be set with the ibase.default_user php.ini directive.

	      o $password
		- The password for $username. Can be set with the ibase.default_password php.ini directive.

	      o $charset
		-$charset is the default character set for a database.

	      o $buffers
		-$buffers  is  the  number  of	database  buffers  to  allocate for the server-side cache. If 0 or omitted, server chooses its own
		default.

	      o $dialect
		-$dialect selects the default SQL dialect for any statement executed within a connection, and it defaults to the highest one  sup-
		ported by client libraries. Functional only with InterBase 6 and up.

	      o $role
		- Functional only with InterBase 5 and up.

	      o $sync
		-

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an InterBase link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
