RE: [PHP] Re: MySQL or FlatFile

I am very new to PHP(Still awaiting a book, Only done a few tutorials and read bits of the PHP manual). But if you used: mysql_pconnect($host, $user, $password) It would keep a consistant connection to the database so it may speed things up a bit.

Where as reading from the file, it's just open file, read file, close file, a lot quicker. -----Original Message----- From: David Duong [mailto:davidduong1@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 10:46 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: MySQL or FlatFile I am referring to whole PHP/Perl files. It is necessary to load them as much as 20+ times within the same hour what would be better MySql or Flatfile? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
