I'm working on some scripts someone else made, and it's littered with
repetitive mysql_connect's and mysql_select_db 's.
For example:
// MAKE SURE IT IS A VALID PRODUCT
$connection2 = mysql_connect(" localhost", "root") or die ("Couldn't
connect to the server.");
$db2 = mysql_select_db ("priceretai l", $connection2) or die ("Couldn't
select database.");
$sql2 = "SELECT dbname FROM productlist WHERE ((accountid =
'printingautoma tion') OR (accountid = '$accountid')) AND dbname =
'$sel_typeprodu ct'";
--SNIP--
// MAKE SURE IT IS A PRODUCT THAT HAS PRICING SET FOR IT
$connection3 = mysql_connect(" localhost", "root") or die ("Couldn't
connect to the server.");
$db3 = mysql_select_db ("priceretai l", $connection3) or die ("Couldn't
select database.");
$sql3 = "SELECT companyid FROM $sel_typeproduc t WHERE companyid
--SNIP--
Yes, it DOES say root in the script.
Here's what I'm wanting to do: make a script that contains the two
mysql_connect and mysql_select_db lines and then do a require() or
require_once() to call it. (And set up and use a different account
than root.)
Now, the questions:
Should I use require or require_once?
And is there a reason why the connection is established multiple times
that I don't understand? Can't it be established once at the top and
use new mysql_query's each time?
Thanks for any help!!

Once you open a connection to MySQL, it will presist until the script
terminates, so all you should need to do is to open it once, and then
just do mysql_query on that connection.
If you look at the mysql function docs on the php.net site, you will
also notice that somewhere they talk about creating presistant
connections that last between scripts. It's useful when you have loads
of scripts and you are getting a serious overhead from the connection
being opened every time a script is run.

Hi,
I am new to php and I'm testing php connectivity to mysql. I created a
php script using the php.net sample. The script uses the mysql_connect
method and when I execute it I get the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in

I need that my script retrieves data from two different databases so I use
mysql_connect() to open two connections. I have only one server, user and
password, just two different databases. Simplified, it'd be:
$con1=mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($database1, $con1);
$res1=mysql_query($sql1, $con1);
$con2=mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);

I have a small test script connecting to a MySQL database. It seems to
work, unless I try to use the resource link identifier returned by

This works and returns all the rows in the table:

Hello people,
There is a problem is that mysql_connect() somehow caches last sessions
IP and is not using the one which you put into host place.
Has anyone made mysql_connect() from php to multiple SQL servers so
that script tries to connect to resolved IPs until it finds one that
works?

I wasn't sure where to put this question, since it deals with both PHP and MySQL. I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this.

This is on a Windows XP machine, using IIS 6.0, MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.
