sybase_pconnect
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
sybase_pconnect — Open persistent Sybase connection
Description
resource sybase_pconnect
([ string $servername
[, string $username
[, string $password
[, string $charset
[, string $appname
]]]]] )
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 (sybase_close() will not
close links established by sybase_pconnect()).
This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.
