mysql_pconnect

Can anyone tell me if the PHP version of Links SQL uses persistent mysql connections? I'm currently using the cgi version, but I'm running into some trouble with too many mysql connections. Since many other parts of my site are done with PHP and use mysql_pconnect, I'd like to keep using those same connections if possible.

Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

A lot of people use timeouts on their SQL connections. This stops runaway connections from getting away. Maybe something like 30 seconds before it is removed?

I understand. What I'm asking, though, is if the default PHP version of Links SQL uses persistent connections or not. Do you know whether it uses mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect?

I'm not sure. In SQL.inc.phpthey have;

if (!$this->DB->PConnect($DB_CFG['host'] . ':' . $DB_CFG['port'], $DB_CFG['login'], $DB_CFG['password'], $DB_CFG['database'])) {

I can't actually find a reference directly to then calling pconnection though...I think Adrian from GT will be a better person to answer this

Yeah I just took a look and I think they use pconnect()

Thanks for your help.
