## Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

sybase.compatability_mode | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL |
magic_quotes_sybase | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | Deprecated in PHP 5.3.0. Removed in PHP 5.4.0.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

`sybase.allow_persistent` boolean

  Whether to allow persistent Sybase connections.

`sybase.max_persistent` integer

  The maximum number of persistent Sybase connections per process. -1 means no limit.

`sybase.max_links` integer

  The maximum number of Sybase connections per process, including persistent connections. -1 means no limit.

`sybase.min_error_severity` integer

  Minimum error severity to display.

`sybase.min_message_severity` integer

  Minimum message severity to display.

`magic_quotes_sybase` boolean

  If `magic_quotes_sybase` is on, a single-quote is escaped with a single-quote instead of a backslash if magic_quotes_gpc or magic_quotes_runtime are enabled. This setting is also respected by addslashes() and stripslashes().

  > Note:

  > Note that when `magic_quotes_sybase` is ON it completely overrides `magic_quotes_gpc` . In this case even when `magic_quotes_gpc` is enabled neither double quotes, backslashes or NUL's will be escaped.

  Warning

  This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

Sybase-CT configuration options
Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog
--- | --- | --- | ---
sybct.deadlock_retry_count | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | Available since PHP 4.3.0.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

`sybct.login_timeout` integer

  The maximum time in seconds to wait for a connection attempt to succeed before returning failure. Note that if max_execution_time has been exceeded when a connection attempt times out, your script will be terminated before it can take action on failure. The default is one minute.

`sybct.timeout` integer

  The maximum time in seconds to wait for a select_db or query operation to succeed before returning failure. Note that if max_execution_time has been exceeded when an operation times out, your script will be terminated before it can take action on failure. The default is no limit.

`sybct.deadlock_retry_count` int

  Allows you to define how often deadlocks are to be retried. The default is 0, value -1 means "forever".
