Re: persistent db connections in PHP

This seems to be a problem with PHP, or at least my set up.

I'm writing pages in basically the same way. Each page has an include
at the top that gets you a database session. The function, either
pg_connect() or mysql_connect(), is supposed to either create a new
connection, or return your existing one.

So after I have a connection, I can navigate to other pages, reload or
post to the current one, trigger the x_connect(), and get the session
I created earlier.

In my Mysql site, if I create temporary tables, I still have access to
them after I have traversed a mysql_connect. So it looks like PHP is
giving me the connection I had when I created the temp tables.

However, with this new Postgres site, I don't have access to my temp
tables after I've traversed another pg_connect. So PHP is either
creating a new connection, or giving me another session, not the one
which I created my tables in.
