PHP mysql_pconnect() Function
 Complete PHP MySQL Reference
Definition and Usage
The mysql_pconnect() function opens a persistent MySQL connection.
This function returns the connection on success, or FALSE and an error on
failure. You can hide the error output by adding an '@' in front of the function
name.
mysql_pconnect() is much like mysql_connect(), but with two major
differences:
- This function will try to find a connection that's already open, with
the same host, username and password. If one is found, this will be returned
instead of opening a new connection
- The connection will not be closed when the execution of the script ends
(mysql_close() will not close connection opened by mysql_pconnect()). It
will stay open for future use
Syntax
mysql_pconnect(server,user,pwd,clientflag)

Tips and Notes
Tip: To establish a non-persistent MySQL connection, use mysql_connect()
instead.

if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>
