RE: RE: [PHP] php mysql--mysqli persistent connections...

never worked with them.... but i'm getting close in an app that i believes requires them... i'm going to need to do transactional processing across multiple pages for a test app. i was looking at the mysqli functions which work for the rollback/commit which is ok. but it's my understanding that once the page closes, the db connection is lost, which would trigger a rollback of any db queries/processing currently in process. however, if i had a persistent connection, then the connection should be open, and the rollback shouldn't be triggered, and the app could proceed with the db processing, followed by a commit! at least this was the plan, until i couldn't find the persistent hook within mysqli... what am i missing..?? -bruce -----Original Message----- From: John Holmes [mailto:holmes072000@charter.net] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 11:09 AM To: bedouglas@earthlink.net; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: RE: [PHP] php mysql--mysqli persistent connections... > php/mysql supported persistent connections.. Have you ever used persistant connections. I don't think they work the way you are thinking. Persistant connections rarely had any benifit except in certain server configurations. ---John Holmes...
