Re: pg_pconnect - ??

Aside from Apache children, pconnect doesn't really have any advantage
over connect... straight from the php.net doc...
You can use $GLOBALS to pass connections instead of trying to use the
pconnect string over and over.

If you write a quick function _one_ function that checks to see if a
connection is made, and uses that resource - or makes a new one, then all
you should have to do is include() that function in each one of your
pages....

Do you need an example? Send us one of yours, and we'll show you (at
least I will). I'd like to see what exactly you're using the pconnect
for.
