The "p" in "pconnect" means *persistent*, not permanent. The connection will persist after the script has completed, however, the connection is handled by the web server process and its true lifetime is only the lifetime of the process. For Apache, this will vary by configuration, and is difficult to predict when hosting multiple sites. Tip: persistent connections are only useful when you want (and have the resources to support) to minimize connection overhead. Any other use and you are likely to be severely disappointed.
