<para>
<function>ibase_pconnect</function> acts very much like
<function>ibase_connect</function> with two major differences.
First, when connecting, the function will first try to find a
(persistent) link that's already opened with the same parameters.
If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of
opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the InterBase
server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends.
Instead, the link will remain open for future use
(<function>ibase_close</function> will not close links established
by <function>ibase_pconnect</function>). This type of link is
therefore called 'persistent'.

<para>
<parameter>buffers</parameter> was added in PHP 4.0.0.

<note>
<para>
<parameter>dialect</parameter> was added in PHP 4.0.0. It is
functional only with InterBase 6 and versions higher than that.

<note>
<para>
<parameter>role</parameter> was added in PHP 4.0.0. It is
functional only with InterBase 5 and versions higher than that.

<para>
See also <function>ibase_close</function> and
<function>ibase_connect</function> for the meaning of
parameters passed to this function. They are exactly the same.
