Two comments from the manual that are interesting:
php dot net at domainofdarkness dot com 29-Jan-2001 04:26 OK, WRT to the p* functions opening a new connection when one already exists. It is my understanting that (under Apache anyways) this is on a per-process basis. If you do a 'ps auxw|grep httpd' on your server you will see more than one process. What p* does is make a p-connection on one of those processes only, the one that actually handles your request. Chances are that when you hit the page again it will be answered by a different process. I'm guessing if you keep hitting reload you'll get around to the original process again and there will be no error message or second connection open. Anyhow, this is true of all p* functions; they open not one connection per server, but one connection per server _process_. venuti at sissa dot it 13-Sep-2001 11:48 Don't expect to be able to open a persistent connection within a script and resume it from a different script, not even if you save the value of $fp with session_register (in fact, $fp is a resource id and cannot be saved in this way). I did not find an (easy) solution to this problem. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
