From time to time I need close my SQL connections becose using Lock, temporary tables, etc. But such code executed rare. 
Can you add new function?
like:
bool mysql_pclose ([bool on_script_exit_or_now=FALSE,[resource link_identifier]])

This function will allow easy using locks and temporary tables and do not loose efficiency.

using this function can be such:
------
mysql_pconnent(...);
...
if(rare_case) {
 mysql_pclose(TRUE); # close connect at exit
 mysql_query("create temporary table ....");
 ...
}
-----
or such:
------
mysql_pconnent(...);
...
if(rare_case) {
 mysql_query("create temporary table ....");
 ...
 mysql_pclose(); # close connect now
}
-----

When you have a pclose, there is no need for pconnect, you 
can also use mysql_connect.

Currently the problem is, that persistent connections in 
MySQL have some disadvantages/bugs/problems:

- no unset for user variables
- session variables are not restored to global variables
- no unlock for tables
- unselect previous selected database
- temporary tables are not deleted
- ROLLBACK of not commited transactions
- SQL_FOUND_ROWS returns a valid result

currently MySQL AB works on a new api-function 
mysql_reset_connection to fix all these things, so we have 
to wait. Currently there is not enough functionality to 
fix/handle this inside the mysql extension.

You can call it function
'mysql_reset_connection' or 'mysql_pclose', as you like.
Of course, the target of this function is close those disadvantages, which you list.

... don't think we should do anything on it. That magic new function is mysql_change_user, its called by default with mysqli to clean up connection, its exported in the mysqli API. People should just move forward to mysqli.

Please use mysql_change_user() to reset the connection

ext/mysql does not export mysql_change_user(). It cannot be called from PHP. However, I agree with Won't fix.
