Re: File and socket handles

Accually you are partially correct. http://php.net/manual/function.pfsockopen.php all connections are closed after the script ends if php is running as a cgi, or if the connection is not persistant. Persistant db connections and persistnat fsockopen connections are not closed. on page one use pfsockopen() on page two use pfsockopen() and it will automatically use the previous connection.
