fbsql_pconnect - Open a persistent connection to a FrontBase Server

SYNOPSIS

       resource  fbsql_pconnect ([string  $hostname = ini_get("fbsql.default_host")], [string  $username = ini_get("fbsql.default_user")], [string
       $password = ini_get("fbsql.default_password")])

DESCRIPTION

	Establishes a persistent connection to a FrontBase server.

	To set the server port number, use fbsql_select_db(3).

       fbsql_pconnect(3) acts very much like fbsql_connect(3) with two major differences:

	First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with  the	same  host,  username  and
       password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.

	Second,  the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for
       future use.

	This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.

PARAMETERS

	      o $hostname
		- The server host name.

	      o $username
		- The user name for the connection.

	      o $password
		- The password for the connection.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a positive FrontBase persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

ifx_pconnect - Open persistent Informix connection

SYNOPSIS

       resource ifx_pconnect ([string  $database], [string  $userid], [string  $password])

DESCRIPTION

       ifx_pconnect(3) acts very much like ifx_connect(3) with two major differences.

	First,	when  connecting,  the	function  would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and
       password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.

	Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open  for
       future use (ifx_close(3) will not close links established by ifx_pconnect(3)).

	This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.

PARAMETERS

	All  of  the  arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in php.ini (ifx.default_host for the
       host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the
       password (none if not defined).

	      o $database
		- The database name, as a string.

	      o $userid
		- The username, as a string.

	      o $password
		- The password, as a string.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns: valid Informix persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on errors.
