note 123569 added to function.pg-connect

For what it's worth, it should be noted that, while PHP will generally handle connection-reuse for you so long as you keep using the same connection strings, as in the following example: <?php $before_conn1 = microtime(true); $db1 = pg_connect($conn_string); $before_conn2 = microtime(true); $db2 = pg_connect($conn_string); $after_conn2 = microtime(true); echo($before_conn2 - $before_conn1); // Takes ~0.03s echo("\n"); echo($after_conn2 - $before_conn2); // Takes 0s ?> ...as nice as it would have been, this does not hold true for async connections; you have to manage those yourself and you can't follow up an async connection with a blocking one later on as an easy way to wait for the connection process to complete before sending queries. <?php $before_conn1 = microtime(true); $db1 = pg_connect($conn_string, PGSQL_CONNECT_ASYNC); sleep(1); $before_conn2 = microtime(true); $db2 = pg_connect($conn_string); $after_conn2 = microtime(true); echo($before_conn2 - $before_conn1); // Takes ~1s echo("\n"); echo($after_conn2 - $before_conn2); // Takes ~0.025s ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 82.199.157.35 (proxied: 207.96.202.138) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123569 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123569 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123569 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
