I don't recall the specifics, but I believe it drops shortly afterwards. Do a netstat on it after a specific duration and you will see it has disconnected. Also, check out mssql_connect and mssql_pconnect.

The problem lies in that when I close the connection and the script terminates normally. I do a 'netstat' on my machine i see that i still have a socket connection to all my databases. Isn't the mssql_close() function supposed to close the connection? ENV: Windows 2000 PHP 4.3.3 MS SQL SERVER 2000 -- Gerardo S.
