What is the difference between mysql_connect() and mysql_pconnect()?..

Answer / amita

mysql_connect everytime open a new connection to the database

while using mysql_pconnect , 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...
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.

What is the difference between mysql_connect() and mysql_pconnect()?..

Answer / sumit

In mysql_pconnect(), ‘p’ stands for persistance connection.

when connecting, the function would try to find a (persistent) connection 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.

mysql_connect() function, every time it is opening and closing the database connection.
