ID: 3723 Comment by: RMartins at pt dot xrt dot com Reported By: sdelmont at loquesea dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: ODBC related Operating System: Win2000 Pro PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment:
At least, a counter should be added, so that if you call open 4 times (same DSN) then only after 4th close call should the connection actually be released. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-02 12:13:24] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hartmut the suggested feature exists in new odbc code, but won't ever been seen in the ODBCv2 code. Having multiple optional variables won't happen... the code becomes too confusing then. The code itself is fine, the behavior you're seeing is what is expected. Hartmut explained this rather nicely. One simple solution to doing this is to use different usernames or passwords which will cause the asked for behavior. This behavior actually falls inline with the way ODBC is expected to work (handles method etc). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-01 15:21:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] connection handles are reused when connecting with same dsn instead of opening a new connection, so close will close the connection for both connects there should be an optional force_new parameter or flag like with mysql_connect changed to feature request ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-03-03 19:59:14] sdelmont at loquesea dot com Cross-nested connections to the same ODBC Source fails. It seems the first odbc_close() closes all other connections to the same DSN. This works OK... (Correctly nested) $A = odbc_connect( DSN ); $B = odbc_connect( DSN ); odbc_exec( $A ); odbc_exec( $B ); odbc_close( $B ); odbc_close( $A ); This works OK... (Non nested) $A = odbc_connect( DSN ); odbc_exec( $A ); odbc_close( $A ); $B = odbc_connect( DSN ); odbc_exec( $B ); odbc_close( $B ); This works FAILS... (Cross-nested) $A = odbc_connect( DSN ); $B = odbc_connect( DSN ); odbc_exec( $A ); odbc_close( $A ); odbc_exec( $B ); odbc_close( $B ); Warning: Bad ODBC connection number (1) in xxxx.php on line [line number for 'odbc_exec( $B );'] Using different DSNs works... even if the two DSNs point to the same database. I tested it using PHP 3.0.15 and 4 beta 4, using JET (Access) and MSSQL. This is a serious problem if you use ODBC for PHPLIB, which doesn't close its connections, and use the same DSN elsewhere on your code. The only workaround seems to either use a separate DSN for PHPLIB and other queries, or change PHPLIB so it closes the database connections after page_open and reopens it at page_close ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3723&edit=1
