I tried to use persistent database connection (Oracle OciPlogon). This seems to work fine, but my server (win2000, apache 1.6 , oracle 8.1.7, php 4.0.6) keeps making new connections every time I issue a new persistent connection. Is there a way to limit the number of persistent connections on my configuration?
Yes, and the manuals tell you how.
Just remember, the persistant connections are setup per webserver-thread. If you somehow start 5 threads, you will need 5 connections or you will get a 'connection refused' type of message.
