Re: Using odbc_pconnect function

I believe everything you have mentioned is automatic. You don't need to pass $connectionstring since PHP detects it's the same info and just sends you the same connection. Also, I believe PHP auto-closes after a certain amount of time (might be configurable, check the php.ini).

When creating my connection with: $connectionstring = odbc_pconnect("prov","username","pass"); I'm able to use it on the current page but how do I resuse the variable $connectionstring on other pages since I make calls like: $queryexe = odbc_do($connectionstring, $query); Hope this is not confusing. Also, can I make the persistant connection expire after there have been no calls to the DB for a certain time?
