fbsql_pconnect
  (PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)
fbsql_pconnect — Open a persistent connection to a FrontBase Server
  
 
 
  Description
  
   resource fbsql_pconnect
    ([ string $hostname
   [, string $username
   [, string $password
  ]]] )
  
  
   To set the server port number, use fbsql_select_db().
  
  
   fbsql_pconnect() acts very much like
   fbsql_connect() with two major differences:
  
  
   First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a
   (persistent) link that's already open with the same host,
   username and password.  If one is found, an identifier for it
   will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
  
  
   Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when
   the execution of the script ends.  Instead, the link will remain
   open for future use.
  
  
   This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.
