Hi, My understanding is that it sends it plain text, then mysql encodes it server-side & does the match. There is client-server ssl planned soon though...

But, I am concerned about sending a clear text password, via the mysql_pconnect() call. My question is, what is the procedure for connecting to a remote server with an encrypted password? Or, does mysql_pconnect handle this?
