php.ini - 404 on mysqli.max_persistent link in the comments

Description

The comments in php.ini, including the sample development and production php.ini files in the repository, include this section:

; Maximum number of persistent links.  -1 means no limit.
; https://php.net/mysqli.max-persistent
mysqli.max_persistent = -1

The link https://php.net/mysqli.max-persistent results in a 404 on the PHP website and the following message:

mysqli.max-persistent doesn't exist

The link should redirect to: https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.configuration.php#ini.mysqli.max-persistent

Note that there are shortened links for other configuration parameters in the file, e.g. https://php.net/mysqli.max-links, which redirect to the correct resource on the PHP site. Therefore, this seems like a server-side redirect issue more than a file-based fix.

PHP Version

This issue is still present in the master, e.g. 8.4, branch.

Operating System

N/A

Start by checking the shortened mysqli.max-persistent URL and compare it with the working mysqli.max-links redirect. Review the php.ini comments and the sample development and production php.ini files to confirm the affected reference; done means the URL redirects to the mysqli configuration documentation without requiring a file change.
