I run a website that utilises a single database that is connected to draw all of the pages in my site.
By far the biggest single use of the database is the php message board that connects to the database every time the index of messages is reloaded and when a message is viewed.
Given that the connection that is used it the same for every query am I best to use mysql_pconnect?
The site serves about 3000 pages an hour during the day. So would this mean only one connection would need to be made instead of 3000?
