I have been using define to create a constant for the link resource returned by
mysql
pconnect like so:
$PL = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", $DBUser, $DBPass);
define("SITE_DB",$PL);
Later I use the constant to select my databases.
mysql_select_db($SrcdbID ,SITE_DB);
This code seems to be working as I expected and I have many thousands of llines
of code
done over several years using this construct.
But, I happened to be reading the php doco today and noticed that you are not
supposed to
use define for resources, so question is, is what I am doing safe or am I going
to run into
problems and if so what is the best way to globally pass resources to multiple
classes and
functions, command line scripts etc?
