hello,

is it possible to use an existing mysql connection created from
php-code $conn=mysql_connect('localhost','root','secret'); in an
php-extensions, e.g. by giving the ressource id to the extension as an
argument: my_extemsion_function('do_something',$conn); ?
because if i have to connect to the mysql server again from my
extension, i'll lose the performance-improvement gained from the
faster C++-code.
