[thelist] PHP Connections and httpd child processes

     Can anyone tell me if the php3 database connections and includes are
     considered httpd child processes?

     Let me explain....I just opened my new personal
     site(http://www.funhouselotto.com) and am using php3/mysql/apache.
     Well, yest, according to the stats, we had 10 people on the site
     playing during the problem hour.  I looked in the error log file and
     saw an entry talking about maxnum being reached.  I contacted my
     support and they said that this was because my server had reached the
     maximum number of child processes.  I asked them to explain how a site
     that had less than 200 people ALL day and only 10 people that hour,
     can run out of child processes so quickly.  No answer yet.

     Any tips or things to look at?

     thanks

     CDitty
