You can't do this kind of thing in PHP. PHP resets the database connection between scripts. The script is finished as soon as the page is delivered to the client.

Also, web connections are stateless and there is no way to even know what web server process or database connection you'll be getting on subsequent page views.
So is PHP and 'ANY' database a useless adventure when it goes to developing a robust business and accounting package?

No, it applies to anything you do in a web browser.

The HTTP protocol is "stateless" which means all resources, connections etc are killed at the end of the script. Resources of any type are not kept alive at the end of a script.

It's not a php thing or <insert random language here>, it's a HTTP protocol thing.
