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.

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.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      fbsql_create_clob(3) example

	      <?php
	      $link = fbsql_pconnect("localhost", "_SYSTEM", "secret")
		  or die("Could not connect");
	      fbsql_database_password($link, "secret db password");
	      fbsql_select_db($database, $link);
	      ?>
