IFX_PCONNECT(3) 1 IFX_PCONNECT(3) ifx_pconnect - Open persistent Informix connection SYNOPSIS
resource ifx_pconnect ([string $database], [string $userid], [string $password]) DESCRIPTION
ifx_pconnect(3) acts very much like ifx_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 (ifx_close(3) will not close links established by ifx_pconnect(3)). This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'. PARAMETERS
All of the arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in php.ini (ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the password (none if not defined). o $database - The database name, as a string. o $userid - The username, as a string. o $password - The password, as a string. RETURN VALUES
Returns: valid Informix persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on errors. SEE ALSO
