Can't see connexion to Postgresql using php

Question

I have created a php form to connect to a remote postgresql database. It seems that I can log in successfully because my message "connexion succeeded" appears. But I can't see the corresponding line in the pg_stat_activity view. Does it mean that the connexion is closed just after completion ? or is there some other reason ? Thanks

Answer 1

using pg_pconnect creates a permanent connection not like pg_connect I was using.
