ODBC Functions
PHP Manual

odbc_pconnect

Open a persistent database connection

Description

Odbc\Connectionfalse odbc_pconnect(
    string $dsn,
    string $user,
    string $password,
    int $cursor_option = SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER
)

Opens a persistent database connection.

This function is much like odbc_connect, except that the connection is not really closed when the script has finished. Future requests for a connection with the same dsn, user, password combination (via odbc_connect and odbc_pconnect) can reuse the persistent connection.

Parameters

See odbc_connect for details.

Return Values

Returns an ODBC connection, or false on failure.

Changelog

Notes
