We are running:
SuSE6.4, Apache 1.3.12-15, PHP 4.0.4p11,
PHPLIB 7.2, ADODB 1.12, IB LI-06.0.1.6 (we think)

We have been using PConnect when creating connections through PHP.
Previously with both MySQL and Postgres this was acting as we expected.
With interbase, however, after a while pages timeout on the first
attempt, and need a manual "reload" to fetch. I changed my PConnect to a
Connect and the problems vanished only to reappear when i put it back!

In "A Sample PHP3/Interbase pplication",
http://www.synetics.co.za/php3/tutorial/sample-app.html, section
"Connecting to Interbase" the author says "...I have encountered
problems with the Interbase connection timing out when connection via a
network..." - is this a known feature and if so is there a work around
as we want to be well behaved and reuse our connections?

yours, as ever,
