That function means connected persistantly, as I do not understand it between the normal function.

Basically there are some major differences:

1. mysql_pconnect creates a 'persistent' connection therefore the link to the database is always open, mysql_connect however isnt like that and its links are closed when the script finishes and therefore must be reopened.
2. mysql_pconnect searches for exisiting persistent connections ans re-uses them if they are found, mysql_connect on the other hand, does not.
3. Links created with mysql_pconnect cannot be closed with mysql_close

You are wrong about #2.

Guys, i know what it do that's why i am using it ;)
but thank you ;)

I dont think i am, i am fully aware that mysql_connect reuses a connection, but i was referring to the connections after the page has finished executing (known as persistent) that are still open. Logically if you open a connection with mysql_connect when the code finishes it closes the connection as it isn't persistent, therefore if you then run he script again it must create a new connection thus my statement is correct. Notice that the manual also says:
" If a second call is made to mysql_connect() " indicting a call to this function in the same script execution.
