NEED HELP: how do i pass a file pointer/resource?

[hartwork]

what i want to do is:

(1) connect to server in [test1.php] (via fsockopen).
(2) close that connection in [test2.php].

i'd need to pass my file pointer/resource to [test2.php] in a way that i can still use it in [test2.php].

is there any solution to do this?
do i really have to reconnect each time?

any help is very appreciated!

thanx in advance // bass <[e-mail]>

I think that if you close the connection the pointer will be set to NULL or something.

You probably will have to connect each time.
