Question: Difference between mysql_connect and mysql_pconnect in PHP?

Answer: There is a good page in the php manual on the subject, in short mysql_pconnect() makes a persistent connection to the database which means a SQL link that do not close when the execution of your script ends. mysql_connect()provides only for the database new connection 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.
