PG_PCONNECT(3)															    PG_PCONNECT(3)

pg_pconnect - Open a persistent PostgreSQL connection

SYNOPSIS
resource pg_pconnect (string $connection_string, [int $connect_type]) DESCRIPTION
pg_pconnect(3) opens a connection to a PostgreSQL database. It returns a connection resource that is needed by other PostgreSQL functions. If a second call is made to pg_pconnect(3) with the same $connection_string as an existing connection, the existing connection will be returned unless you pass PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW as $connect_type. To enable persistent connection, the pgsql.allow_persistent php.ini directive must be set to "On" (which is the default). The maximum num- ber of persistent connection can be defined with the pgsql.max_persistent php.ini directive (defaults to -1 for no limit). The total number of connections can be set with the pgsql.max_links php.ini directive. pg_close(3) will not close persistent links generated by pg_pconnect(3). PARAMETERS
o $connection_string - The $connection_string can be empty to use all default parameters, or it can contain one or more parameter settings separated by whitespace. Each parameter setting is in the form keyword = value. Spaces around the equal sign are optional. To write an empty value or a value containing spaces, surround it with single quotes, e.g., keyword = 'a value'. Single quotes and backslashes within the value must be escaped with a backslash, i.e., ' and \. The currently recognized parameter keywords are: $host, $hostaddr, $port, $dbname, $user, $password, $connect_timeout, $options, $tty (ignored), $sslmode, $requiressl (deprecated in favor of $sslmode), and $service. Which of these arguments exist depends on your PostgreSQL version. o $connect_type - If PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW is passed, then a new connection is created, even if the $connection_string is identical to an exist- ing connection. RETURN VALUES
PostgreSQL connection resource on success, FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Using pg_pconnect(3) <?php $dbconn = pg_pconnect("dbname=mary"); //connect to a database named "mary" $dbconn2 = pg_pconnect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mary"); // connect to a database named "mary" on "localhost" at port "5432" $dbconn3 = pg_pconnect("host=sheep port=5432 dbname=mary user=lamb password=foo"); //connect to a database named "mary" on the host "sheep" with a username and password $conn_string = "host=sheep port=5432 dbname=test user=lamb password=bar"; $dbconn4 = pg_pconnect($conn_string); //connect to a database named "test" on the host "sheep" with a username and password ?> SEE ALSO
