Storing Link Resources as class variables

[levelwave]

Is there a way to store sql server Link Resources as class variables in an object? Whenever I do I get a "Warning: odbc_exec(): supplied argument is not a valid ODBC-Link resource"

class DB{
  var $cid;

   DB{
      $this->cid = odbc_connect("foo","foo","foo");
   }

}

I can retrieve $cid in this script and get back "resourse #foo" but as soon as I go to another script, in the same session, the $cid gets reset to 0, even though if I have other variables within DB they keep their values.... I'm confused.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. When you say "another script in the same session" do you mean you have (or tried to) store an object as a session variable, and then tried to get it back in another request? I doubt you'll ever get the resource to work that way, the connection was closed when the first script finished.

Exactly... I'm trying to store an object as a session variable with one of the member variables storing the connection id. I'm guessing you can't since you said the connection gets closed after the script terminates.
