note 3094 deleted from mysql_pconnect by danbeck

Here's a short example. say you had a small mysql table with Name and Phone fields in a table called phonenums in a database called info. $my_pconn = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root", "sex"); $my_results = mysql_db_query("info", "select * from phonenums", $my_pconn); while($phoneinfo = mysql_fetch_array($my_results)) { echo "$phoneinfo[Name] 's phone number is $phoneinfo[Phone]<br>"; } or say you passed a cgi var of $new_num into a php3 script to update someones number $update_attempt = mysql_db_query("info", "update phonenum set Phone = '$new_num' where Name = 'Bob'", $my_pconn); Hope this helps
