You can't do it. Read the part in the PHP manual about what persistent
(pooled) connections really are, and what they aren't. They aren't a way
to continue a connection across mutliple page requests. For one thing,
a different web server child process is likely to handle each request.
If you are using persistent connections from PHP to PostgreSQL, you
really must make absolutely sure all transactions are closed at the
end of the page. You can use register_shutdown_function to do this.
