I was just thinking the other day about the subject and i wonder if you could achieve AI with php and mysql. The php side would be like the thinking and sensing part of the brain and the mysql side would be the memory and storage part of the brain. Could it be possible?

pbinfinity asked:


I am trying to find out the correct most efficient way to deal with mysql connections in PHP. My goal is to make sure I do not run out of connections. I have read that using persistent connections is a way to run out of connections if you have too many users. If opening and closing connections is not time intensive, will that be a better way to manage them?

Example:
$conn = mysql_connect(…);
mysql_select_db(…, $conn);
…
$info = mysql_query($query, $connection);
…
/* do a bunch of stuff to render the results to the screen */
…
mysql_close($conn);

If there is a lot of work to render to the screen, is it a better deal to save the query results off to another variable, free the resource memory and then close the connection before ever rendering to the screen?

Code examples would help, and documentation about how you know it is the best way is also preferred.

Thanks.
