Could it be possible that I'm maxing out my Apache connections everytime I try to display all these images?

When I get the 403 error, it's usually after I've tried refreshing the page again. The first time the page is displayed it will only produce a 1/4 of the images. I try to refresh, and then it gives me the 403 error. So it's hard to understand what's causing it to produce that error?

It seems strange that your DB wouldn't allow 20 simultaneous connections, but it's possible. I looked at the MySQL configurations, and it is set to allow 20 max user connections. But, I'm just wondering if there could be anything else causing the 403 error. And, is there a different way to accomplish this without having to make so many database connections?

I'm not sure why you think 403 means too many connections, either. Also, how would retrieving 20+ images require multiple DB connections? Or each each image calling it's own PHP script? Please clarify. No, let's say I have 20 images, then there would be 20 different rows, one row for each image. I'm calling the images using this method: <img src="getpicture.php?id=1234"> Then, in the getpicture.php script, I connect to the database, grab the blob data for that single image, then change the header type and then print out the image. Hopefully this clarify's what I'm trying to do.

I'm in a major fix right now. I need to display multiple (20+) images from a Blob field in MySQL on a single web page using PHP. The problem arises when I get a 403 forbidden error, which can only mean one thing, too many database connections at one time. I have tried closing the MySQL connection each time I need to display each image, but I'm still getting this error! If anyone knows how to display multiple images from a Blob field on a single web page with PHP, without getting this error, I could really use your help!
