Except for extremely rare instances, you shouldn't use persistent
connections in PHP. They will almost always harm performance more than
they will help.

And whether the script will close connections when it ends or not, it is
still not a good idea to depend on the system to close it for you. This
is true with all languages and all databases.

Good programming practices means to always clean up after yourself and
don't depend on someone else to do it.
