Do I need persistent connections with php? Even with persistent connections, you can't use a temporary table on a later HTTP connection (Web request), because you don't know that your new HTTP connection will get the same MySQL connection that you used before. It should work to use a temporary table in a series of queries to get data to display on a page in response to a single HTTP request, but if you need to save data through a series of HTTP requests (a session), you'll need normal tables. You can create a table using some unique ID in the name and then drop it when you're finished with it. It will exist temporarily, but it won't be a TEMPORARY table in the MySQL sense. -- Keith C.
