Hi there, I've been looking all over the net for connection pooling information about php and mysql but I didn't come across anything. Do you know anything like the connection pooling system of asp? In php, there is the pconnect, persistent connection which, as far as I know does nothing but open a connection and execute all the commands via that connection. What I want is, something that does this: "If there is no existing connection or the existing connection is in use, open another persistent connection. if there is an open connection and it's idle, use that one" If there is nothing that can do this, I'll start to try to write it on my own. And of course, any help would be appreciated :) -- Finest, Mengü, mailto:mengus@soursummitz.org -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
