hi...
if i create a site that hits a back mysql db...
i don't want to do a mysql_connect for every page that has to access the db. so the question is where should the mysql_connect occur. also, if i were to do it once when the app starts, is the connection more or less maintained throught the life of the app.
You have to connect to mysql on every page, it's not possible to store the connection in session. That's how it works.
an additional question. the resource identifier is required to initiate a given php mysql function. i would assume that the resource identifier should probably be stored in some session var....
searching mysql/php/google didn't result in clarfification for these issues...
comments/criticisms/thoughts are welcome...
thanks
