I'm not sure if other people have lots of db problems with PHP but we had
enough that we switched our website around so it has a perl page that
creates the HTML page, queries the db, and sends the data into PHP to have
it draw a graph based on the data. It's more complicated, but perl never
fails to connect to the database. We had about a 10% failure rate with the
PHP. If you find out what could be causing the problem please let me know
too :-)
We are using Sybase instead of MySQL but if it's happening to some people
across different DBMSs then maybe there's something in PHP that doesn't like
something to do with the way a network is set up or something like that??
