Re: persistent sign on for Zend Server

It won't work.  PHP resources are not serializable.

Pete, I had the same idea, but can't seem to get it to work.  My code is 
below - Form1 does connect successfully, but the 15_query in Form2 fails 
with a "No Default Connection found" error.  Here's what I am doing, maybe 
you can see the problem:

form1
----------
session_start () 
include login.php
lots of code
submit action=form2


form2
----------
session_start () 
$sql_result = i5_query ($searchstring, $_SESSION["Connection"]);

login.php
-----------------
 
$host = '192.168.x.x';
$user = 'xxxx';
$password = 'xxx';


$connection = i5_connect($host, $user, $password, array
(I5_OPTIONS_INITLIBL=>"QTEMP, QGPL, KAGPL, CLIENTGPL, TAATOOL, TWUFP, 
TWUPP"));
if (!$connection) {
   die ("Could not connect to database   " );
}
$_SESSION["Connection"] = $connection;

The technique I use is to use the user id and password to connect and 
then make the connection object part of the session variable and use 
that connection object when I need it.
