## #8534 — Corne' Cornelius — 2004-03-16T11:50:49+00:00

Hi,

The Informix extension has some issues with it's connection resources.
When a connection resource is busy, -439 errors are returned from  the 
following functions:

ifx_connect()
ifx_pconnect()
ifx_query()
ifx_prepare()

I want to add a new_link parameter to the ifx_(p)connect() functions, 
like the mysql_(p)connect() functions have

are there any objections/alternate suggestions to this ?

Can i please commit this to the PHP_4_3 Branch ? the -439 error has been 
an issue in the IFX Extension for quite some time, and this could reduce 
the problem quite drastically if users are willing to have a new_link on 
each call , or if a -439 is encountered on first attempt without 
new_link, and a 2nd attempt is made with new_link

Thanks,
Corne'
