Also the above was with a manually tweaked connection file to use mysqli_connect(), however, the generated code gives me mysql_pconnect() from the server behaviours panel when defining a connection when inserting a recordset.
Should the MySQLi server behaviour not be using mysql_pconnect??
If I use the auto-generated code I get this error when trying to load the login page.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\Connections\mbf.php:11 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php(1): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Connections\mbf.php on line 11
