note 74375 added to function.mysql-connect

if between first and second call with same arguments there was another call with another argument, initial connection link is not reused, but new connection is created instead, regardless of new_link argument. for example, here only one single link will be opened and then reused: <?php $link1 = mysql_connect("localhost"); $link2 = mysql_connect("localhost"); ?> and here _three_ separate links will be opened: <?php $link1 = mysql_connect("localhost"); $link3 = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1"); $link2 = mysql_connect("localhost"); ?> so if you wanted to switch between connections just by call to mysql_connect, and rely on its internal link caching, you can be wasting your database connections. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.124.166.20 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74375 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74375 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74375 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
