                                ibase_pconnect

   (PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
   ibase_pconnect --  Open a persistent connection to an InterBase
   database

Description

   resource ibase_pconnect ( string database [, string username [, string
   password [, string charset [, int buffers [, int dialect [, 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'.

     Note: buffers was added in PHP4-RC2.

     Note: dialect was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only with
     InterBase 6 and versions higher than that.

     Note: role was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only with
     InterBase 5 and versions higher than that.

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