ibase_pconnect() acts very much like ibase_connect() 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 (ibase_close() will not close links
established by ibase_pconnect()). This type of link is therefore called
'persistent'.

[Alan McDonald] So you must also have to be very explicit with your commits
and/or rollbacks? Instead of relying on page script completion enforcing a
commit?
