# odbc_pconnect

odbc_pconnect -- Open a persistent database connection

## Description

`int odbc_pconnect`(string dsn, string user, string password, int [cursor_type]);

Returns an ODBC connection id or 0 (`false`) on error. 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.

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

For information about the optional cursor_type parameter see the odbc_connect() function. For more information on persistent connections, refer to the PHP FAQ.
