passing db persistent connections through different pages

hello, I've this silly question: how can I pass a db persistent connection from a script to another? (it seems there's no way: but what's the use then of them?) eg, I tryed this 2 scripts (with Oracle 8.1.6) <?php set_time_limit(0); $conn = ociplogon('user','pass','testdb'); echo "Server Version: " . OCIServerVersion($conn); echo "<br><br> $conn"; ?> <?php echo "<br><br> $conn"; OCILogOff($conn); ?> this works if both are on the same page, but I see no way to pass $conn (with the associated info) to another one; I've read on http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db&m=97024385511984&w=2 __________________________________ > I'd like to know if it is possible to create a session variable for a > database to get a persistent database connection.
