How to save php socket resource in database?

Question

I am creating a socket in php with socket_create and would like to store the received socket in a database (to access from other php code). However the socket is of type 'resource'. How can I store this in mysql ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

You cannot store a resource / socket in database.

Instead, you'd have to store the informations that would allow you to re-create it when necessary.
