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.
