[EMAIL PROTECTED] 29-Jan-2001 03:26 OK, WRT to the p* functions opening a new connection when one already exists. It is my understanting that (under Apache anyways) this is on a per-process basis. If you do a 'ps auxw|grep httpd' on your server you will see more than one process. What p* does is make a p-connection on one of those processes only, the one that actually handles your request. Chances are that when you hit the page again it will be answered by a different process. I'm guessing if you keep hitting reload you'll get around to the original process again and there will be no error message or second connection open. Anyhow, this is true of all p* functions; they open not one connection per server, but one connection per server _process_. Hope this explains something (it's from the manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pfsockopen.php) I'm keeping this open as a doc problem though, cause the documentation is very skimmy.

Connection, opened by pfsockopen(), is closing when the script is finishes.
