Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-09 08:12:37] wez@php.net Fixed in CVS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-13 15:47:31] damien dot harper at gmail dot com I'm running a debian box dual Xeon 2 gigs of RAM and powering Apache 2.2.0, PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.18, PDO_mysql 5.0.18 and getting the same issues. It would be really nice to be able to set the persistent connections lifetime. Otherwise, PDO should be smart enough to autodetect dead connections and avoid to return them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-08 15:54:03] nerve at gmx dot net Or an other idea, how about the posibility to specify a time after which the persistent connection is closed ? (Aka timeout). I want beleve that mysql is the only pdo backend with useles persistent connections. I (and every other ho is using persistent connections for a big or important aplication) thank you for a good solution.

So every user can destroy it and recreate the persistent connection without restarting the webserver ? Not all php users have the choise to restart the webserver if a persistent connection is going to hell ? Thank you Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-04 23:56:31] nerve at gmx dot net Thank you for your good help ;-(, clearly it's in the docu, but in this case persistent connections are useles ;-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
