Why do i get too many connections when in fact, there should be few

[Oluwaseun Ajayi]

What could be the cause of too many connections when there are few.
I am accessing the database from a python and php script.

from php i use mysql_pconnect and i am not really calling mysql_free_result after SELECTing because i believe once the script ends, every resources should be automatically cleared.

Are there some step or recommendations?
