ibase_pconnect

(PHP3 >= 3.0.6, PHP4 )

ibase_pconnect --  Creates an persistent connection to an InterBase database

Description

int ibase_connect (string database [, string username [, string password [, string charset [, string role]]]])

ibase_pconnect() acts very much like ibase_connect() with two major differences. First, when connecting, the function will first try to find a (persistent) link that's already opened with the same parameters. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the InterBase server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (ibase_close() will not close links established by ibase_pconnect()). This type of link is therefore called 'persistent'.

See also ibase_connect() for the meaning of parameters passed to this function. They are exactly the same.
