Description:
------------
With an attempt to use PDO_MYSQL with PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true I 
stated coincidentally that no persistent connections were used, but 
dozens idle "hanging" processes had remained open: one process for one 
call to "new PDO(...)"!

As an ISP this is catastrophic and we are missing the possibility to 
disable persistant connections as with mySQL. (settings like 
"mysql.allow_persistent" and "mysql.max_persistent")

mySQL: 4.0.25

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have to correct: there is not one idle process per call, but idle 
processes accumulating.

No change with current snapshoot!

Additionaly: please add something like "mysql.allow_persistent" and 
"mysql.max_persistent" for mysqli and PDO_MYSQL as a feature request.
As an ISP we need a little control and influence...

And please excuse my bad English - I have nearly no more speaking/
writing practice since my school days 25 years ago.

No answer after that long period of time - it's a little disappointing.

Now I found by accident a document which explains that strange behavior.
See: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php

The surplus connections results from different child processes of the apache webserver.
Only possible solution: don't allow persistent connections.
But can't do that in php.ini, so I have to disable PDO_MYSQL at all! :-((
