<para>
Returns a positive MySQL persistent link identifier on success,
or &false; on error.
</para>
<para>
<function>mysql_pconnect</function> establishes a connection
to a MySQL server. The following defaults are assumed for
missing optional parameters: <parameter>server</parameter> =
'localhost:3306', <parameter>username</parameter> = name of the
user that owns the server process and
<parameter>password</parameter> = empty password.
The <parameter>client_flags</parameter>
parameter can be a combination of the constants
MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS, MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE or
MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>server</parameter> parameter can also include a port
number. e.g. &quot;hostname:port&quot; or a path to a socket
e.g. &quot;:/path/to/socket&quot; for the localhost.
<note>
<para>
Support for &quot;:port&quot; was added in 3.0B4.
</para>
<para>
Support for the &quot;:/path/to/socket&quot; was added in
3.0.10.
</para>

<!-- TODO move the story to features.persistent, and refer to that -->
<para>
<function>mysql_pconnect</function> acts very much like
<function>mysql_connect</function> with two major differences.
</para>
<para>
First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a
(persistent) link that's already open with the same host,
username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it
will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
</para>
<para>
Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when
the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain
open for future use (<function>mysql_close</function> will not
close links established by <function>mysql_pconnect</function>).
</para>
<para>
The optional <parameter>client_flags</parameter> parameter became
available in PHP 4.3.0.
</para>
<para>
This type of link is therefore called 'persistent'.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Note, that these kind of links only work if you are using
a module version of PHP. See the
<link linkend="features.persistent-connections">Persistent
Database Connections</link> section for more information.
</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>
Using persistent connections can require a bit of tuning of your Apache
and MySQL configurations to ensure that you do not exceed the number of
connections allowed by MySQL.
