title: Persistent connections are disabled. Downgrading to normal
body: <p>I have received this <strong>error</strong>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[21-Jul-2016 02:14:05 America/Chicago] PHP Warning: 
    mysqli::__construct():

  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So, people told me to use persistent connections, so I add the p: in front of hostname:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$hostname="127.0.0.1";
  $user="xxx";
  $pass="123";
  $bd="xxx";
  
  $mysqli_link = new mysqli("p:$hostname", $user, $pass, $bd);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I now have this <strong>error</strong>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: mysqli::__construct(): Persistent connections are disabled. 
        Downgrading to normal in /home/s/public_html/config.php on line 8</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
