New Comment:
I am not suggesting that database resource should be valid later in a
session. I am simply pointing out that the value is corrupted within
the execution of the same page. This is definitely a bug.
You can choose not to fix it, but perhaps then you can document that
the $_SESSION variable is not ACTUALLY superglobal, and may not retain
values between included pages.

DB connection resources can not be passed along within sessions ->
We're not gonna 'fix' anything here.

Description:
------------
pg_last_notice() fails in very specific circumstances. The failure
seems to happen under only a very specific set of circumstances.
- The $_SESSION superglobal is used to hold a db connection resource.
- There is an active session.
- The database connection is made in an included file.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<? // filename - thisworks.php
session_start();
$_SESSION["dbconn"]=pg_connect("dbname=meridican user=postgres
password=");
$result=pg_query($_SESSION["dbconn"],$sql);
echo pg_last_notice($_SESSION["dbconn"]); ?>
<? // filename - thisdoesntwork.php
session_start();
include("dbconn.php");
$result=pg_query($_SESSION["dbconn"],$sql);
echo pg_last_notice($_SESSION["dbconn"]); ?>
<? // filename - dbconn.php
$_SESSION["dbconn"]=pg_connect("dbname=meridican user=postgres
password="); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
In the example, the output from thisworks.php is the notice raised by
postgres. The same result could be expected from the nearly identical
code run in thisdoesntwork.php.
Actual result:
--------------
In actuality, thisdoesntwork.php outputs a blank.
