Ok, i'd of course appreciate more eyes before my commit then (i need to become
more familiar with the whole postgres source). I've put three files online:
- the diff against current php haed
  http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/pgsql/pgsql-persistent-20030725.diff.txt
- the complete new file
  http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/pgsql/pgsql.c
- the parts relevant (request start/stop)
  http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/pgsql/pgsql-request-start-stop.c

  
Best regards,
 Marcus                            mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
