Here's some functions I use in my development which save on connect and query calls for me.
aaron: i do more or less the same thing. allow me to criticize your functions in one very important respect: you do not check the return value of your calls! i would suggest that anyone doing mysql work ALWAYS check the return value. it will save you MUCH head scratching later on down the line. really.
eg:
function db_connect() {
mysql_pconnect("localhost","username","password"); mysql_select_db("Database"); }
function db_connect {
mysql_pconnect('localhost','username','password') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('database') or die(mysql_error());
}
and so forth.
