mysql_pconnect -- Open a persistent connection to a MySQL server
Syntax
resource mysql_pconnect ( [string server [, string username [, string password [, int client_flags]]]] )
Establishes a persistent connection to a MySQL server.
mysql_pconnect() acts very much like
mysql_connect() with two major differences.
First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a
(persistent) link that's already open with the same host,
username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it
will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when
the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain
open for future use (mysql_close() will not
close links established by mysql_pconnect()).
This type of link is therefore called 'persistent'.
Parameters
server
The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g.
"hostname:port" or a path to a local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for
the localhost.
If the PHP directive
mysql.default_host is undefined (default), then the default
value is 'localhost:3306'
username
The username. Default value is the name of the user that owns the
server process.
password
The password. Default value is an empty password.
client_flags
The client_flags parameter can be a combination
of the following constants:
MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS,
MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE or
MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE.
Return Values
Returns a MySQL persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on
failure.

Notes
Note:
Note, that these kind of links only work if you are using
a module version of PHP. See the
Persistent
Database Connections section for more information.
Warning
Using persistent connections can require a bit of tuning of your Apache
and MySQL configurations to ensure that you do not exceed the number of
connections allowed by MySQL.
Note:
You can suppress the error message on failure by prepending
a @
to the function name.
