PHP mysql_pconnect

mysql_pconnect — Open a persistent connection to a MySQL server

mysql_pconnect() acts very much like mysql_connect() with two major differences.

First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.

Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (mysql_close() will not close links established by mysql_pconnect()).

This type of link is therefore called 'persistent'.

resource mysql_pconnect ([ string $server = ini_get("mysql.default_host") [, string$username = ini_get("mysql.default_user") [, string $password = ini_get("mysql.default_password") [, int $client_flags = 0 ]]]] )

server

The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. "hostname:port" or a path to a local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost.

If the PHP directive mysql.default_host is undefined (default), then the default value is 'localhost:3306'

username

The username. Default value is the name of the user that owns the server process.

password

The password. Default value is an empty password.

Ruby on Rails Introduction

Ruby on Rails is a framework that makes it easier to develop, deploy, and maintain web applications. During the months that followed its initial release, Rails went from being an unknown toy to being a worldwide phenomenon; more important, it has become the framework of choice for the implementation of a wide range of so-called Web 2.0 applications.

A large number of developers were frustrated with the technologies they were using to create web applications. It didn’t seem to matter whether they used Java, PHP, or .NET—there was a growing sense that their jobs were just too damn hard. And then, suddenly, along came Rails, and Rails was easier.

All Rails applications are implemented using the Model-View- Controller (MVC) architecture. Rails applications are written in Ruby, a modern, object-oriented scripting language. This makes our programs shorter and more readable. just think about how much information is being expressed in a few lines of code.

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :portfolio
has_one :project_manager
has_many :milestones
has_many :deliverables, through: milestones
validates :name, :description, presence: true
validates :non_disclosure_agreement, acceptance: true
validates :short_name, uniqueness: true
end
