I've used mysql_pconnect() in the far past because I thougth it would be faster and more l33t. But if the site went through a stress testing I sometimes got the "too many connections" error. In that past I was not able to fix that problem, so I switched to mysql_connect() and I'm still using it without any problems. mysql_connect() seems to be as fast as mysql_pconnect() as far I was able to meter it. Now I am more skilled and migth find out why mysql_pconnect() missed the spot. But I'm happy with mysql_connect() so I use my time for jobs I get payed for. But if somebody really knows how mysql_pconnect() was ment to be used and how to avoid the "too many connections" error please tell us!

Then we will have to work down the score.
