Store resource #id to mysql & retrieve

[kostas]

Hi,

I tried to store resources #id at a mysql database. At the field for example is stored Resource #id 3 (Field type VARCHAR).
Then I pass a select query and add the result to an array or a variable.
But when I try to use the resource #id I get the PHP Warning message "expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given".

I think this happens because mysql stores the resource as string.

I tried to serialize before I add the resource to mysql but it didn't work.
Do you know how can I store resources to mysql ???
Thank you !!!

Hold on....you're trying to store resources for later use?

I want to store resources at mysql and then use them [ if they have not been closed of course -> Hold on .... I don't run php at a web page 🙂 ] - as I do if I store them at an Array.

Do you think I can do it ? If I use another type of mysql field ?

Anyway I found another similar way to handle it.

Thanks ...

You can't store resource connections for later use; the data in them is not being managed by PHP, but by the application the resource connects to.
