Re: Two MySQL connections in one script not working as expected

If you make two calls to mysql_connect with the same parameters, the second will not make a new connection - it will return the existing connection. The manual explains this: http://www.php.net/mysql_connect "If a second call is made to mysql_connect() with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned. The new_link parameter modifies this behavior and makes mysql_connect() always open a new link, even if mysql_connect() was called before with the same parameters." -robin
