In spite of the documentation, it appears to be important to close the database. On my installation (RedHat 7.1, mysql 3.23, php 4.03pl1) when I didn't manually close the database after I finished with it I wound up with tons of open connections (exceeding my max allowed). Maybe this is because of lots of timing-out connections, but when I started closing the database after use, the problem went away. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-close.php
