Description:
------------
When i make a connection to my sybase db using odbc_connect, apache leaves the odbc.ini file open even thought i call odbc_close().

I am unable to figure out how to get these files closed. I have done quite a bit of research but am unable to locate any one who has experienced this issue.

Apache is the User assigned to the file which is located -> etc/odbc.ini

At the top of each page that i load is an include statement that creates a connection to the db.  When i have finished running my query (odbc_do()), i call odbc_close().

For each page that is loaded, a new instance of odbc.ini is opened for each call to odbc_connect().

I verify this by using -> lsof odbc.ini in the etc/ directory.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$db = odbc_connect($DSN, $dbUserName, $dbPassWord);

if(!$db)
{
   die("Failure to connect to DB");
}

if(@ $dbResource = odbc_do($db, $query))
{
   if(@ odbc_fetch_row($dbResource))
   {
      $myData = odbc_result $dbResource, "ColumnName");            
   }
   odbc_close($db);
}

Expected result:
----------------
The odbc.ini file descriptor located in the etc/ directory to be closed.

Actual result:
--------------
file is left open?
lsof odbc.ini
