viewing number of current connections

[jonathan]

is there a way to view the current number of connections in mysql?  
I'm developing a PHP / MySQL app and would like to be able to debug a  
few performance problems.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to query the number of current  
connections via the mysqli interface and make decisions based upon that.
