I've been having intermittent connection problems with my M$SQL
2000/Apache2/PHP set up. Every now and then the mssql_pconnect() would fail.
M$SQL is running on a separate dedicated server while Apache is running on
my local box. PHP is set up to run as a module. I'm the only person using
the accessing site.
On Google I found an thread in the PHP bug database stating that the M$SQL
DB lib is limited to 25 connections per process. Does anyone know if this is
(still) true? There's a mssql.max_procs described in the PHP manual, but the
variable isn't found in the distribution php.ini so I wonder if hasn't
become obsolete. How would it be different, after all, from mssql.max_links?
