Sure, that's what I understood from the various docs I read !

Sure again, but the fact is that when I provide a "quit" button, it redirects
the client towards a php page that closes the connection, erases the session
file and tells him that he is now away, so, I tend to think that the
connection is definetly closed afetr the reading of this page.

That would be great enough indeed !
As a mater of fact, I didn't suspect the existence of pgsql-php list, as
suggests Josh in reply of my previous mail, and I'll subscribe to this list
right now to make out what's related to this.
Thanks anyway for your concern.
