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.
