note 104620 added to function.pg-connect

I had problems in a PHP program that uses fork() after pg_connect(); I didn't use any pg function inside the child, I just keep using pg functions in the parent process. In this case, the connection gets "duplicated" and when the child finishes, it automatically calls pg_close() on its destructors, and this makes the parent connection to finish! If your program needs to fork, then use this sequence: pg_connect(); do_somethings(); pg_close(); fork(); pg_connect(); And remember: if your program forks, you CAN NOT use the pg_pconnect() function, because it is persistent. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 186.223.220.101 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104620 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104620 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104620 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
