The documentation does not reflect the fact that running PHP through a CGI interface will force persistent db connections to close on script end.

Example, mssql_pconnect

From Chapter 22: Persistent connections: (4th alinea on http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php):

 The first method is to use PHP as a CGI "wrapper". When run this way, an instance of the PHP interpreter is created and destroyed for every page request (for a PHP page) to your web server. Because it is destroyed after every request, any resources that it acquires (such as a link to an SQL database server) are closed when it is destroyed. In this case, you do not gain anything from trying to use persistent connections -- they simply don't persist.

IMHO a reference to this should be made from the relevant functions.

All pconnect functions have links to the 'Persistent Database Connections' chapter.  Most (if not all) also state that persistent connections only work with module version of PHP.

Status -> Closed
