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'.
注: buffers was added in PHP4-RC2.
注: dialect was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only with InterBase 6 and versions higher than that.
注: role was added in PHP4-RC2. It is functional only with InterBase 5 and versions higher than that.
See also ibase_connect() for the meaning of
parameters passed to this function. They are exactly the
same.
