>You may want to use persistent connections, also.
Almost certainly you don't. The discussion sites are full of complaints that it doesn't work properly. There is a
tendencyfor the connections to not get reused, but not released, either, such that you quickly run out of connections.
Thisis with mod_php, of course; if you're running PHP as a CGI then persistent connections don't hurt (nor help,
obviously,since the process exits after doing its thing.)
