I believe you are running into a well-known PHP bug where multiple pg_connect's or a pg_connect with multiple pg_pconnect's breaks (http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=9123). This has been fixed in CVS, but here is the patch needed: ------------------------- (this is from Thies Arntzen, thies@xxxxxxxxxx, the maintainer of the Postgres module for PHP) i've commited a fix for this to PHP 4 CVS yesterday (~ Feb 15). if you don't want to live on the "bleeding edge" (use PHP from CVS) just replace the php_pgsql_set_default_link function in pgsql.c against this one and you're all-set! regards, tc static void php_pgsql_set_default_link(int id) { PGLS_FETCH(); if ((PGG(default_link) != -1) && (PGG(default_link) != id)) { zend_list_delete(PGG(default_link)); } if (PGG(default_link) != id) { PGG(default_link) = id; zend_list_addref(id); } } ------------------------- Michael Fork - CCNA - MCP - A+ Network Support - Toledo Internet Access - Toledo Ohio On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Markus Fischer wrote: > Hello, > > I've written a class for the pgsql_* function ( just a > wrapper to speed up things and have a cleaner interface, I've > attached it).
