It's not broken anymore! And it speeds up your website.

Thats not exactly my problem. I just want to have say
20 MaxClients to wait for http Connections
but only 5 possible DB Connections
I http server no. 6 tries to connect i want pg_pconnect (or pg_connect; that
doesn't matter) to wait maximal 1 second and then return an error.
At the moment it waits "forever" (until max_execution_time i guess) and you
have no chance to show an error message like: DB is overloaded, please try
again.
php_pgsql module doesn't have a directive like mysql which is
mysql_connection_timeout.
i tried pgpool but it doesn't have a timeout value for establishing a
connection.
That's my problem. My DB is overloaded once a week to a special peek time and
i can't afford more hardware. I just want a simple and kind error message.
kind regards
