New Comment:
The idea of persistent of connection is "connect always, but if there isn't
connection yet, then make connection".
If you need persistent connection, use pfsockopen() always.
Persistent connection is managed by connection ID internally, so it's possible
to make
pfsock_is_open() - return TRUE if already opened.
or something like this.
If you still feel you would like to have this, reopen this report.

Description:
------------
Currently, there is now way to determine if the pfsockopen() created a new
connection or used an existing connection.
Expected result:
----------------
This information is very important for some protocols (specifically, the EPP
protocol, RFC 3730, and its TCP transport specification in RFC 3734), which
uses a stateful session management system.
I'd suggest something like this:
<?php
$sock = pfsockopen($host, $port, $etc);
$data = stream_get_meta_data($sock);
print $data[persistent];
?>
the value of $data[persistent] might be one of "new" or "existing", depending
on whether the previous pfsockopen() had to create a new connection, or was
able to reuse an existing one.
This would be very useful for protocols like EPP (see RFC 3734) and IMAP, which
are stateful, and for which negotiation and authentication are done once, upon
connection.
