PHP 4.0 Bug #2863: call to mysql_connect fails after calling mysql_close

From: tomwk@audiogalaxy.com Operating system: Redhat PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: call to mysql_connect fails after calling mysql_close I've got a long running cgi script that I use to keep track of some statistics. It just sits in the background and checks the database periodically. This script worked fine under the most recent version of php3: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <script language=php> set_time_limit( 0 ); // set up variables while( true ) { mysql_connect( $server, $user, $password ); mysql_select_db( $dbName ); $results = mysql_query( $query ); $row = mysql_fetch_array( $results ); // do some stuff mysql_free_result( $results ); mysql_close(); sleep( 15*60 ); } </script> Email me if you need any more information.
