We're working on a project using PHP and PostgreSQL, mainly trying to work=

in an OOP fashion. The project has quite a good amount of code, and a DB
Object called DB_Bib that has all the query methods. I also have a generic=

DB object (DB_Main) which has code to establesh the connection, and from
which my DB_bib Inerits the DB connection.

The thing is that I made a new class called DB_Debug which also inherits
from DB_Main, and is there to have debugging data inserted into a table in=

the database.

I noticed that when the two objects are started (they both call the
connection method using the same connection string) php doesn't
initiate to distinct connections, but 1 connection within commands from
both objects get passed to the DB server.

The problem is that query commands from the DB_Debug object and from the
DB_Bib object get mixed up in the same connection, making it deficult to
know when to make a commit.

Is there a way to fix this without having to change the connection string?

Hi Martin

Did you try passing the constant PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW to the
Debug-connect?

Excelente. I forgot to say that I'm working with PEAR::DB, and just found=

this in DB/pgsql.php:

if (isset($dsn['new_link'])
&& ($dsn['new_link'] =3D=3D 'true' || $dsn['new_link'] =3D=3D=
=3D true))
{
if (version_compare(phpversion(), '4.3.0', '>=3D')) {
$params[] =3D PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW;
}
}

I always forget to "use the source Luke!" :-)

thanks!

As Cornelia Boenig suggested, you can force pg_connect() to establish a new
connection on every call. Also if you don't want to exhaust max_connections
limit, you can serialize queries using semaphores (or mutex).
