List, Which way to connect is better for my scripts? a global $db = pg_connect('asdfasdfasdfasdf'); and every function can have global $db; at the top? or like this? function db_handle() { return pg_connect('asdfasdfasdfasdfadsf'); } and everyplace needed use `db_handle()` so I call pg_exec like $rs = pg_exec(db_handle(),"select everything from everywhere")); So does that db_handle() make a new connection each time? I'm really looking for the way to optimise my connection usage. David Busby Systems Engineer busby@xxxxxxxx
