Could you please explain what and why do you need? mysql_connect & friends doesn't establish new connection, if a connection with the same parameters was established before in this script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-13 09:26:06] sivalsm at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ I think it will be great, if we had a database function to check whether database connection is already exist or not for a particular session. Naturally we are using a common php file to connect to database and we are inclusing the file in every script.Anyway database connection will lost after completing the execution of the script.But we need to connect database again and again. If there is a database function like mysql_isconnected, to check whether database connection is already established or not...that will be helpful. Expected result: ---------------- We can use mysql_pconnect to maintain persistancy in database connections.But it will take server resources to maintain persistancy.So if there is a seperate mechanism to check the database connection it will be better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29645&edit=1
