DB persistent connection

Post by abs123 »

How can I enable persistent connection to the MySQL database on my phpBB 3.2.2?

As i can see on this wiki page, there is a 'Persistance' option, but I can't find the way to make my forum using it.

I have looked for a configuration option in the administration panel and in config.php, no success finding it.

Why it has been moved? Isn't persistent DB connection more like a big improvement and performance feature that should be there by default, rather than just a mod?

AFAIK, persistency is never used. Some DB classes support it in their methods like you describe, but it's always called like this:

Code: Select all

				$this->dbal_connection->sql_connect(
					$this->config_php_file->get('dbhost'),
					$this->config_php_file->get('dbuser'),
					$this->config_php_file->get('dbpasswd'),
					$this->config_php_file->get('dbname'),
					$this->config_php_file->get('dbport'),
					false,
					defined('PHPBB_DB_NEW_LINK') && PHPBB_DB_NEW_LINK
				);
Thus, hardcoded as false.

Seems like in 3.2 it has always been this way: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb-core/com ... a69c58e861
But looking further back it seems to be changed somewhere during the early 3.0 days.

I found a little discussion about it here: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2166689

Seems like a thought-through but rather undocumented approach.
My extensions:
Simple CMS, Feed post bot, Avatar Resize, Modbreak, Magic OGP, Live topic update, Modern Quote, Quoted Where (GDPR) and Autoresponder.
Newest: FAQ manager for 3.2
