I have a web page that runs under PHP. I query a mysql database every 5-10 seconds, with each meta refresh. This was fine and worked decent, until other people started using it. Now the connections have grown to a number that they need to be handled better. I was thinking of creating a daemon that runs every 5 seconds and then populates a flat file that apache/php would read with every refresh thus limiting the load to one connection every 5 seconds.

Does anybody have any better ideas?

How often is the data in the database changing. The answer to that makes a difference as to what the best solution will be.
