100 simultaneous connections, critical limit?

I am writing a website that will probably have some traffic.
Right now I wrap every .php page in pg_connect() and pg_close().
Then I read somewhere that Postgres only supports 100 simultaneous
connections (default). Is that a limitation? Should I use some other
method when writing code for high-traffic website?
