Hello List, is there anybody out there, who could help me in finding something I know from good old java: Connection Pooling. Is there a mechanism or project that provides that for PHP 5? Reason I create a 20 page pdf with data out of MySQL 4.1 (that means using the mysqli methods) where I require a couple of shots at my database. The whole process is realy slow and i think the bottleneck is the database connection. thx Jan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
