odbc_pconnect

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

odbc_pconnect — Open a persistent database connection

Description

odbc_pconnect(
    string $dsn,
    string $user,
    string $password,
    int $cursor_option = SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER
): resource|false

Opens a persistent database connection.

This function is much like odbc_connect(), except that the connection is not really closed when the script has finished. Future requests for a connection with the same dsn, user, password combination (via odbc_connect() and odbc_pconnect()) can reuse the persistent connection.

Parameters

See odbc_connect() for details.

Return Values

Returns an ODBC connection, or false on failure. error.

Notes

Note: Persistent connections have no effect if PHP is used as a CGI program.
