mysql_pconnect

Name

mysql_pconnect — Opens a persistent connection to a MySQL server.

Synopsis

mixed mysql_connect([host][, user_name][, password]); string host (optional): Desired host, with optional port or socket component string user_name (optional): Username to log in with string password (optional): Password to log in with

Returns

MySQL link on success; FALSE on failure

Description

mysql_pconnect() behaves like mysql_connect() with two exceptions:

The connection is persistent and will not close when the current script exits. This improves efficiency by not forcing the MySQL server to open a new connection every time PHP needs to connect to a database.
The connection cannot be closed by mysql_close() .

The mysql.allow_persistent configuration directive enables/disables the use of this function.
Persistent connections are not available in the command line/CGI versions of PHP.

Version

PHP 3+, PHP 4+

Example

Example 823. Establish a persistent MySQL connection

$host = 'mysql.example.com';
$user = 'anonymous';
$pass = '';

mysql_pconnect ($host, $user, $pass)
    or die ("Could not connect to the MySQL server '$host' as user '$user'.");
