note 15619 deleted from function.mysql-pconnect by jimw

Just a little warning: If you have a class which uses mysql_pconnect and are creating multiple instances of it, you may get mysql errors concerning the number of mysql links you have open. eg. I had a script that used a database interface class - this class used mysql_pconnect. However, the class appeared to be creating a new link each time it was instantiated, so when I was calling the script multiple times within another script (I was generating image headers and including images from a database), then I occasionally received an error about the number of links mysql had open :( (correct me if I am wrong about this - the link error disappeared when I changed pconnect to connect).
