mysql_connect_compress question.

On this page it mentions that you can compress mysql data. My question is does anyone how do I enable this in the includes/db_mysql.php for vb3.0.13?

The bandwidth between my web servers and database servers is going to reduced I figure this might help things a little.

Sorry I don't follow.

Like I figure it will have to go somewhere here:

PHP Code:

                                if ($usepconnect == 1)
                                {
                                        $this->link_id = @mysql_pconnect($server, $user, $password);
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        $this->link_id = @mysql_connect($server, $user, $password);
                                } 


I'm just not sure of the syntax to do this. I tried mysql_connect($server, $user, $password, ,mysql_client_compress) but that didn't work

n/m guys I figured it out. It's this:

@mysql_connect($server, $user, $password, false, CLIENT_COMPRESS);

and it won't work if you're trying this with a windows mysql server
