                                sybase_pconnect

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   sybase_pconnect -- Open persistent Sybase connection

Description

   resource sybase_pconnect ( [string servername [, string username [,
   string password [, string charset [, string appname]]]]])

   Returns a positive Sybase persistent link identifier on success, or
   FALSE on error.

   sybase_pconnect() acts very much like sybase_connect() 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 (sybase_close() will not close links established by
   sybase_pconnect()()).

   This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.

   See also sybase_connect().
