mysql_connect - Too many connections

I'm seeing a lot of this error lately...

"Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/myname/public_html/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 53

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/myname/public_html/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 585

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/myname/public_html/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 586
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database"

From what I can tell, the 'max_connections' needs to be increased on the server.

Could this be something else? Poor coding?
Any help would be appreciated - before I put the blame solely on the host.

thanks
