I'm maintaining a session. I successfully connect to a database ($DBConnect = mysql_connect()). I save the connection resource in a session variable ($_SESSION['connection'] = $DBConnect) ... to use in subsequent queries. It remains valid while the user is on the current page. print_r($_SESSION['connection']) yields 'Resource id #3', for instance. User browses to a new page ... in the same session. $_SESSION['$DBConnect'] no longer references a valid mysql resource. print_r($_SESSION['connection']) yields '0'. Other "ordinary" values saved in $_SESSION variables remain valid. Is there something special about a mysql resource? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
