#6339 [Ana->Csd]: invalid Sybase-link resource - problem with last opened link

ID: 6339 Updated by: thekid@php.net Reported By: dpetrov at nchcapital dot com -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD 3.4 PHP Version: 4.0.2 New Comment: This bug has been fixed long, long ago, closing it:) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-12-11 21:12:52] joey@php.net Actually, the same thing happens no matter what the database is, so I'm going to reclassify this as a Feature Request, since there is a work around, and the syntax being used here doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. The basic issue: If you do not store the result of the *_pconnect(), PHP discards it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-29 21:17:35] dpetrov at nchcapital dot com This confirmed to be a problem in version 4.0.2 as well ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-24 18:01:50] dpetrov at nchcapital dot com I am giving the simplest example possible: sybase_connect("abc","def","jkl"); // or die("Can't connect!"); $res=sybase_query("Select * FROM Companies"); I always get this: Warning: 1 is not a valid Sybase-Link resource in ... Yet, if I replace 1st line with this: $somevariable = sybase_connect("abc","def","jkl"); // or die("Can't connect!"); then everything works just fine (even though I do not really use $somevariable anywhere). This probably means that the link it not being registered properly internally. I did not have this problem with Sybase-dblib (yet there is a big problem wirg sybase_fetch_row - it core dumps PHP/Apache). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6339&edit=1
