Re: Sessions, Connections ...

This is probably better suited for the pgsql-php list but that's OK :-)

There is always ignore_user_abort()
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ignore-user-abort.php -- still, when
the user cancels, it stops execution of the PHP script and all connections
will be closed (and transactions rolled back, I hope)

PHP scripts (or programs, whichever you prefer) start up and stop every
time they're accessed, so you do have to have every script open a connection
to the database (if you're using the database, of course). You can be brave
and test persistent connections (this allows connection reuse) as the PHP
developers supposedly fixed the problems in 4.0.5 but I haven't tried it
since 4.0.5 so I can't comment.

Good luck!
