Trying to locate the file that has the routine that does msql_connect or _pconnect…

I don’t have the latest beta installed, but I do have an Alpha 2 installation and the database connection is here:

./bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123:

$this->dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password, true);

Thanks, why in BB and WP no one is using _pconnection ? Would it not be better than _connection?

That might be an interesting discussion, but for another forum. We’re not going to change that here. Maybe try the wp-hackers maling list?

Or, there is some pretty good info here on why NOT to do it:
