Read through some of the user comments on the manual page and it's explained in detail. Try with mysql_connect(), first. You can raise the number of connections (default is 100) using a my.cnf file (explained in MySQL manual), but if you're not getting the actual traffic to produce 100 simultaneous users, then that's not the issue. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
