I have an application which runs PHP and SQL Server
There is a Linux Server running redhat and PHP 5.1.6 and a Windows Server for SQL 2005.
On the last weeks the application started to return eventually mssql_connect erros, saying server is unavailable.
There is no network instability that we could map.
We've tried to replace mssql_connect with mssql_pconnect, but then the erros returned eventually were on mssql_select_db instead of mssql_connect.
I've discovered that PHP 5.1 added a new parameter [, bool $new_link ] on both mssql_connect and mssql_pconnect.
Documantation for new_link says:
What is the best technique recommended to connect to SQL Server for a production server?
mssql_connect or mssql_pconnect?
new_link = true or new_link = false?
tks for any help
