From: Kevin Schroeder
Another mechanism would be to use PHP sessions to store the
username and password on the server side.

It's interesting that this suggestion has come up several times, but that no one has yet suggested maintaining an IBM i connection in some sort of pool for the duration of the session - just storing the connection ID in the session - rather than storing password. That puzzles me. I've never done any PHP coding, but using some sort of connection pool was the first thing that came to my mind - forget the password after initial login. What am I missing?

Nathan.
