[Fwd: [PATCH] add appname argument to sybase_connect]

Hello, I resubmit this patch again since i didn't get any reply from my previous post. Please get a look at it and, at least, let me know if you think this patch is useless... If not, it would be great if it can be merged before 22:00 ;) Thanks, Christophe. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PATCH] add appname argument to sybase_connect Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2002 17:28:55 +0100 From: Christophe Sollet <csollet@coleebris.com> Organization: Coleebris To: php-dev@lists.php.net Attached patch add an optional 'appname' argument to sybase_connect (both ct and db interface). The first goal of this patch is, obviously, to be able to set the appname to something more informative that just 'PHP 4.0' if your db server is php dedicaced. Futhermore, it's allow to make separate connections in the same script to the same db since the appname become part of the hashed details : It's needed when, for example, you have a connection inside a transaction and you have to make a query that can't be done inside this transaction. Without this patch, this sort of things is impossible in PHP (or you have to play with the case of the username to fool the hashed_details...). The patch is well tested with the ct interface (applied on our systems from several weeks) and poorly tested with the db interface (simple connect test). Could someone review it and commit it (it's against current CVS) ?
