PHP 4.0 Bug #10113: allow_persistent directive doesn't work

From: martin@schapendonk.org Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: allow_persistent directive doesn't work To prevent the use of persistent connections I've put the following lines in my php.ini: mysql.allow_persistent = Off ; pgsql.allow_persistent = Off ; When I look at the output of phpinfo() I can see that PHP reads my settings, because it reports persistent links to be off. Nevertheless, PHP still allows persistent connections, so every now and then I run out of available database backends because too many of them are idling. I solved this problem by patching the source code (modified ext/pgsql/pgsql.c line 462 and ext/mysql/php_mysql.c line 597, changed "1" into "0"), but I do not consider this as a 'clean' solution, since I have to patch the source every time I update PHP. You can view phpinfo()'s output at: http://www.schapendonk.org/config Thanks for your time to look into this problem.
