overrun?

Whoa there!! It's no *BIG* deal! It all works fine I just wondered why the connecton seemed to linger a little longer than it should! I'll go with Ben's idea and close off the connectons at the bottom of my script. As for using a new version of MySQL - what's the point? It works fine. I can insert, select and update - all fine. WHy on earth would I want to upgrade to a new version which would prob take me all day, maybe crash the server on which several important websites sit on, and is generally more hassle than it's worth. If it aint broke - don't fix it. Cheers for your ideas folks.
