Exceed it and you'll get that error. That parameter is configurable - if you run the MySQL daemon itself. If you use shared hosting, you may not be able to tweak it. Do the pages -need- to be totally dynamic, or can you use the caching system you mentioned? If so, then wrap code that stats an HTML page for the time, and if it's too old, update it. Be sure to use file locking so you don't clobber yourself. Moreover, do you open one connection and re-use it in a page, or do you do multiple opens and closes? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
