Name
mysql_pconnect( )
Synopsis
mysql_pconnect(server[:port|socket], user, password[, flags
])
Use this to open a persistent
connection to MySQL. The connection will not end with the closing of
the PHP script that opened the connection, and it cannot be closed
with mysql_close( )
. The first argument of the
function is the server name. If none is specified,
localhost is assumed. A port may be specified
with the server name (separated by a colon) or a socket along with
its path. If no port is given, port 3306 is assumed. The username is
to be given as the second argument and the user’s
password as the third. If a connection is attempted that uses the
same parameters of a previous one, the existing connection is used
instead of creating a new connection. As an optional fourth argument,
client flags may be given for the MySQL constants
MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS
,
MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE
,
MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE
, and
MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL
. The function returns a
connection identifier if it’s successful; it returns
false if it’s unsuccessful.
mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'russell', 'dyer');
