>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.

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
