Description: ------------ If a script loses connection after the initial MDB2::Connect call, a call to MDB2::singleton does not produce an error. Test script: --------------- <?php require_once('config.php'); require_once('MDB2.php'); $dsn = array( 'phptype' => 'mysql', 'username' => BASH_USER, 'password' => BASH_PASS, 'hostspec' => BASH_HOST, 'database' => BASH_NAME, ); $mdb2 =& MDB2::factory($dsn); if (PEAR::isError($mdb2)) { echo "Connection failed\n"; exit(); } echo "Connected\n"; sleep(20); // Stop mysqld $mdb2 =& MDB2::singleton($dsn); if (MDB2::isError($mdb2)) { echo "Failed db connection\n"; exit(); } echo "Still Connected\n"; Expected result: ---------------- php -q test.php Connected Failed db connection Actual result: -------------- php -q test.php Connected Still Connected

I'm pretty sure singleton is doing what the documentation is suggesting it does. I think what's missing is a ping function to actually test the connection.
