mysql persistent connections

[Anon]

Hello,

I would like to know how to perform mysql persistent connections through PHP. It is because I have one mysql server and another mysql client machine. There are many users to use the client machine to "talk" to mysql server. However, although I use mysql_pconnect() to enable persistent connections, I find the server did not perform it. When I type mysqladmin processlist, there are many many connections (about 500 connections). This makes my system always down.
Are there any examples for me to learn?

need more info to be able to help. e.g. are you (a) running apache (b) running php as an apache module rather than a cgi?

in the manual it says that you need to have php compiled as an apache module. it doesn't work when php loads as an cgi, as in this case the php executable is only loaded on request, and has no way to hang on to data, like database handles.
