Topic: Mysql Link Resource

[WaterDude]

I\'m interested in creating an externally accessed connection pool that I can use with PHP.  My question is two-fold:

1.  I\'m under the assumption that PHP can exacute external deamons running on the same box, if Apache\'s user has the correct permissions.  Am I correct?

2.  Is there any info out in www-land about the internals of the mysql link resource used by PHP?


Sorry if this is a newb type question, but I haven\'t had much luck looking this up.
