    odbc_pconnect — Open a persistent database connection

    Description

    odbc_pconnect(
        string $dsn,
        string $user,
        string $password,
        int $cursor_option = SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER
    ): Odbc\Connection|false

    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

    8.4.0 This function returns a Odbc\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was returned.

    Notes

    Note: Persistent connections have no effect if PHP is used as a CGI program.
