passing resource id's through functions

I seem to have figured out that pg_connect returns a resource ID that will
not pass into another function, and that pg_pconnect does.  I'm not too
keen on the persistent connections.  Can someone confirm this belief?  I'm
trying to remember where on php.net I read how to pass pg_connect
resources to other functions, and haven't found it at functions,
persistent connections, pg_connect or pg_pconnect.

Any help would be appreciated, and helpful :)
