In short, is there some sort of mysqli_pconnect for high-usage PHP & MySQL servers, or do I need to stick with mysql unimproved? And if so, why did they remove it?

    Support for this was introduced in PHP 5.3. For versions before this, PDO and – god forbid – the mysql extension are the only options.

    To quote the manual:

    Unlike the mysql extension, mysqli does not provide a separate function for opening persistent connections. To open a persistent connection you must prepend p: to the hostname when connecting.
