ah...I'm new to php and sql, so I'm pretty clueless here...here goes:
I'm getting this error frequently:

Warning: Too many connections in /b2-include/b2functions.php on line 37

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in /b2-include/b2functions.php on line 37
Can't connect to the database server. MySQL said:
Too many connections

I was editing my page and constantly refreshing to see the results...but if i wait long enough the site will work again...

Can someone explain when and where exactly a connection is opened? And is there a way to close a connection at appropriate times to prevent clogging of connections? how should I use this: mysql_close($db); ?

I recently fixed the refresh thingy hack to enable page refreshes to work in IE... if i refresh a page once, does this open a new connection?

Thanks in advance...

I believe the connection gets closed properly after a page loads. You don't have to worry about that. Your problem seems to be with your host and not with b2. Ask them to increase the number of connections allowed to the database.
