mysql_connect opens up a database connection every time a page is loaded. mysql_pconnect opens up a connection, and keeps it open across multiple requests.

mysql_pconnect uses less resources, because it does not need to establish a database connection every time a page is loaded.

mysql_pconnect is a persistant connection to the database.Use this with care...as the number of connections to the database is limited.

mysql_connect  establish a new connection every time when it connect to database but mysql_pconnect first searches if there is pre-existing connection or not. if it found connection then it make use of that connection to databases.

When we use mysql_connect every time we have to make connection when every time page is loaded but when we use mysql_pconnect it does not have make connection every time.
