odbc_pconnect
  Open a persistent database connection
  
 
 
  Description
  
   resource odbc_pconnect
    ( string $dsn
   , string $user
   , string $password
   [, int $cursor_type
  ] )
  
  
   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.
