keeping a connection string open

[Garabaldi]

Hi...

I have a php include files which connects to numerous databases.

When I include this file into my php pages however the connection doesn't stay open.

How can I keep these connections open until I close them without using pconnect.

Thanks
Angelo.

Have you tried looking at memcache, eAccerlator, or something similar?

are you using php as a cgi or a sapi? is the script being run across a web-browser or locally as a command-line?

typically connections do stay open within the execution life of a script. however the scope of variables is not so global. depending how you are addressing your db connections, you might have to make the resource handles global. the php manual is excellent on variable scope.
