I'm not sure about security, but I don't think you'll have a problem using just one connection per page instead of one connection per query.

Hey everyone. I'm running a site engine with a bunch of different queries, maybe around 25 queries per page view. I am planning to expand to a site with around 100+. This isn't huge... but I'm just wondering, is it better to do a connect and close mysql command before and after EACH query, or is it better to do one connect command at the beginning of page execution and a close command at the end? I'm curious about security and efficiency. Is doing more queries a lot more intensive on the server, and if I do one connect and one close is that leaving myself open to attacks? Thanks, -Will
