Re: persistent sign on for Zend Server

I don't understand why being able to serialize a connection makes
something more or less OO. Does java actually serialize a connection
proper or does it just serialize everything it needs to recreate the
connection once unserialized?

Hmmm. I use that technique with Java (should have qualified my response

with that). A quick Google on PHP indicates that the connection cannot
be saved in a session variable so I guess you are stuck with using the
encrypted password methods that others indicated.

Sorry for the mis-information. I assumed that PHP was a bit more OO
than it is....

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.

Using Zend Server, I would like to present a sign-on screen where the

once,

and use that info as the user moves from screen to screen, all of

which

will require a 15_connection. I know that I can store the user and

how

$_SESSION works, right?). Any suggestions on how to deal with this.
