Persistent Links help needed

Hi All, I have multiple PHP pages and make my connection to the MySQl db in one of these pages. When I go to the next one any mysql commands seem not to work - it look like the connection to the DB is lost! I have a feeling this is to do with persistent connections so here is the relevant parts of the phpinfo() output. My question is - what do I have to set and how do I do it so the connection remains or do I have to reconnect in every php file??
