I'm a .Net developer that have taken over a PHP project. This project has a database layer that looks like this:
<?php
class DatabaseManager {
private static $connection;
const host = "projectname.mysql.hostname.se";
const database = "databaseName";
const username = "userName";
const password = "password";
public function __construct()
{
}
public function instance($_host = null, $_username = null, $_password = null)
{
if(!self::$connection)
{
if(!$_host || !$_username || !$_password)
{
$host = self::host;
$username = self::username;
$password = self::password;
}else{
$host = $_host;
$username = $_username;
$password = $_password;
}
self::$connection = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
$this->setDatabase();
}
return self::$connection;
}
public function setDatabase($_database = null)
{
if(!$_database)
{
$database = self::database;
}else{
$database = $_database;
}
$connection = $this->instance();
mysql_select_db($database, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
}
} ?>
I have written a php file that uses this layer but after a while i got these mysql errors implying i didn't close my connections which i hadn't. I try to close them but know i get other weird errors like system error: 111. Very simplyfied my php file looks like this:
<?php
$return = new stdClass();
$uid = '9999999999999';
$return->{"myUid"} = $uid;
$dm = new DatabaseManager();
$dmInstance = $dm->instance();
/* MY CLICKS */
$sql = sprintf("SELECT count(*) as myClicks FROM clicks2011, users2011 WHERE clicks2011.uid = users2011.uid AND users2011.uid = %s AND DATEDIFF(DATE(at), '%s') = 0 AND exclude = 0", mysql_real_escape_string($uid), mysql_real_escape_string($selectedDay));
$result = mysql_query($sql, $dmInstance) or die (mysql_error());
$dbResult = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$return->{"myClicks"} = $dbResult[0];
mysql_close($dmInstance);
echo json_encode($return); ?>
