PHP mysql_connect randomly failing

[Jon Drukman]

I've got a library of PHP code whose first line is a mysql_connect
statement, like this:

$dbh=mysql_connect() or die("mysql connect failed: $php_errmsg");

Approximately 1% of the time it just fails, for no stated reason:

Warning: mysql_connect() [http://www.php.net/function.mysql-connect]:
in /var/httpd/htdocs/pi/pi.php on line 3
mysql connect failed:

Any ideas why this would be happening? PHP is version 4.3.1 (same
results with the latest 4.3.3 release candidate), Mysql is 4.0.12

thanks

Hi

Do you think you might have reached the maximum number of allowed
connections.

Try and double or triple this figure and see what happens.

Thanks
