ID: 64603 Comment by: slavb18 at gmail dot com Reported by: slavb18 at gmail dot com Summary: missing function to close persistent connection Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PDO related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.3.23 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: with pdo_firebird_check_liveness now works ok, no more shutdown connections returned to php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-25 09:21:01] michael at mjburgess dot co dot uk I've confirmed this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-07 07:24:16] slavb18 at gmail dot com may be there is also third way to resolve problem 1. PDO class should have function public function isValid(){ return TRUE; // or some embedded functional like start/finish transaction ? dont know how it work with other drivers } 2. derived class override & implement method isValid() (like in my example) 3. php before returning PDO class from connection pool should call isValid() method, and if validation the result is false, then automatically refresh connection ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-07 07:13:03] slavb18 at gmail dot com there is similiar Bug #40681 with oracle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-07 07:11:12] slavb18 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP PDO class is missing ability to close persistent connection: __destruct does not close it, even if I call setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT,FALSE) before destruction May be __destruct should analyze PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT attribute or there should be explicit function to close persistent connection. Need to close invalid (shutdown) peristent connection demonstrate example below: Example with firebird: 1. establish persistent connect in php 2. shutdown connection on server 3. try to get persistent connect from php again there will be error "General error: -902 connection shutdown" I can check connection validity in my pdo derived class like this: public function isValid(){ $valid=TRUE; try { $this->beginTransaction(); $this->commit(); } catch (PDOException $e){ $valid=FALSE; } return $valid; } but I can not "refresh" or "close" my broken connection, there is no function to free it in php connection pool ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64603&edit=1
