I think it hinges on what you're trying to do. Why do you need to store the resource_id in a session? IE what you trying to achieve? If it's simply a case of trying to eliminate the latency in establishing a connection then have a look at mysql_pconnect(). BTW have you read manual > Persistent Database Connections? That will probably answer most of your questions. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* He who laughs last hasn't been told the terrible truth. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
