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.

The problem still exists!

Connection, opened by pfsockopen(), is closing when the script is
   finishes. (tested by just simple netcat -l and by multithreaded
java
   chat server)

   PHP Version 4.1.1
   Apache/1.3.20
   FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE
