Are you using the mysqli client library for the statements? This support the mysqli_prepare() method, which will allow you to send multiple queries over a single connection?

Hi All, We have written code for multiple functions in php.In the functions we are using stored procedures calls.First we called a stored procedure,retrived values.To retrive values from second stored porcedure we need to close the previously opened connection and then execute the second stored procedure. But actually we are using remote MYSQL DB.Due to the closing/opening of DB connection ,it is taking so much to execute our application. We need an alternaive method to avoid close/open connection each time for each strored procedure call. If any one knows a solution, please help us. Thanking u all. ***************************************************************************** ****** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
