 Do PHPRunner applications make persistent connections?

PHPRunner General questions

Hi,

I have a website that has a portion of it that uses a PHPRunner application. My site was down for about 5 hours on Monday due to 504 Gateway timeout errors. I called my hosting company and sent in a support ticket, but was told it must be a coding issue, perhaps with persistent connections being left open. I think that they are wrong, since I've had the same code for quite some time with no problems. I am pretty confident that I haven't manually written any code with persistent connections that stay open, but I was wondering if PHPRunner generates code that makes persistent connections that might be left open, resulting in a 504 Gateway Timeout. Does it? If so, is it possible to modify the code? Would this even be helpful? I appreciate any insight into this question. Thanks,

Brett

PHPRunner doesn't use persistent connections, must be something not right with the web host.
The function for creating persistent connections from PHP to MySQL is mysql_pconnect:

We use mysqli_connect or mysql_connect, based on what is available.

Thanks Sergey for the clarification,

Upon further investigation, it seems as if the problem was a route leak (according to CloudFlare) but I'm not totally certain yet. Thanks,
