This is a follow up to the bug (#39029) that I reported earlier which has been repeatedly closed as bogus. The oci8.persistent_timeout setting in the php.ini file is documented as : "The maximum length of time (in seconds) that a given process is allowed to maintain an idle persistent connection. Setting this option to -1 means that idle persistent connections will be maintained forever. " If I do not want the connection to be persist forever, then by using this setting, I should be able to ensure that a connection is not idle for longer than what I specified. However, when I set persistent_timeout to 10 seconds, I find that the connection is not terminated even after 10 seconds have passed. In fact, it doesn't terminate at all. So the question is what is the purpose of this setting ? And what does an 'idle connection' mean ? A google query for 'idle timeout' yields enough results to point that when the timeout occurs, the idle connection is terminated. Obviously there is a bug somewhere. Either in the documentation or in the behavior. Please advise. Thanks and Regards, Kiran -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
