Hello,
I was curious to know, is there anything you can do to overcome the need to connect to the DB on every page, like using the mysql_pconnect function? does the use of this overcome the need to connect on every page?
Cheers...
Yes; it doesn't reduce the number of connections needed, of course, but it does cut away the overhead of having to create a new connection every time one is needed - existing connections are retained and reused instead.
