mysql_pconnect fatal error

[tom_b]

I get this error when I try to connect to my database

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in c:\program files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\flash.php on line 11

Here's the code:

 <?php 
mysql_pconnect ("localHost", "root", "wooty");
 
mysql_select_db ("blog_db");
$qResult = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM blog_entries ORDER BY id DESC");
 
$nRows = mysql_num_rows($qResult);
$rString ="&n=".$nRows;
 
 
for ($i=0; $i< $nRows; $i++){
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($qResult);
    $rString .="&id".$i."=".$row['id']."&"."&title".$i."=".$row#['title']."&"."&date".$i."=".$row['date']."&"."&entry".$i."=".$row['entry']."&";
}
echo $rString."&";
 
?>
 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Why don't you use mysql_connect?
