1. Make sure you are freeing up all resources as soon as you can -> mysql_close();

little thing I've done for some time that's stuck with; (php5+ only) on all of my database connection classes, I have the db close function in the destructor just to make sure <?php class MysqlConnection { protected $dbHandle; //holds the connection resource public function __destruct() {

    if(is_resource($this->dbHandle)) {
      mysql_close($this->dbHandle);
    }

} } ?> just 'cos it's one less thing to worry about.
