Bug #12093 Updated: persistent db conns

ID: 12093 Updated by: sniper Reported By: php@rawhide.cjb.net Old Status: Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: missing status Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 19:41:48] php@rawhide.cjb.net IMHO a reference to this should be made from the relevant functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 06:41:49] derick@php.net From Chapter 22: Persistent connections: (4th alinea on http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php): The first method is to use PHP as a CGI "wrapper". When run this way, an instance of the PHP interpreter is created and destroyed for every page request (for a PHP page) to your web server. Because it is destroyed after every request, any resources that it acquires (such as a link to an SQL database server) are closed when it is destroyed. In this case, you do not gain anything from trying to use persistent connections -- they simply don't persist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 06:20:07] php@rawhide.cjb.net The documentation does not reflect the fact that running PHP through a CGI interface will force persistent db connections to close on script end. Example, mssql_pconnect ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12093&edit=1
