Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51989&edit=1 ID: 51989 User updated by: nospam at unclassified dot de Reported by: nospam at unclassified dot de Summary: PDO class doesn't connect but reuse open connections -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Database Functions Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Sorry, a script that creates databases and such and also reproduces the bug in under 20 lines of code? That's impossible. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-04 09:38:53] mike@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-03 14:43:58] nospam at unclassified dot de Description: ------------ The manual says that the PDO class represents a database connection. Thus I assume that when I instantiate two PDO classes, I get two database connections. But instead, when using the same connection data, I do not get a second connection but the first connection is simply reused. I need a separate connection for logging purposes, it cannot use the primary connection that's affected by transactions and all such things. I do get a separate connection when I connect to "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost", which is a different string but the same meaning. This is a hack though because there are very limited alternatives to define the same host. Expected result: ---------------- I expect every PDO instance to actually give me a new connection, at least when another connection is already in use. Actual result: -------------- It gives me the old connection that is used for transactions and such. My programme doesn't work then. It needs another connection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51989&edit=1
