MYSQLi error: User already has more than 'max_

I have this error below on a site I am running. I don't understand why is that as it works fine on my localhost. Is it something to do with the host? I am on an Unix server.

Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (42000/1203): User dbo343879423 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /homepages/9/d322397966/htdocs/dump/models/class_database.php on line 11
Connect failed: User dbo343879423 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections 
Warning: mysqli::close() [mysqli.close]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in /homepages/9/d322397966/htdocs/dump/models/class_database.php on line 160

the error says 'User dbo343879423 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /homepages/9/d322397966/htdocs/dump/models/class_database.php on line 11', so this is the line 11 in the script - I can't see anything wrong!

$this -> connection = new mysqli($hostname,$username,$password,$database);

below is the entire class in class_database.php, is it wrong in other part of script and I should change?

<?php

        {

        } 
        else

    }

        }

    }

    #display error
    public function get_error() 
    {
        return $this -> error;
    }

    #closes the database connection when object is destroyed.
    public function __destruct()
    {
        $this -> connection -> close();
    }
}
?>

or should I just change the host for good!??

below is the implementation of the database connection class. If I take this part out, the error won't appear anymore, but I do the same at other parts of the site as well and they won't cause any problem!

Have I been implementing the class incorrectly??

thanks.

回答1:

Probably the problem is that you have only a handful connections allowed and when your class tries to get a new connection you have this error.

This is not a programming problem, just quantity of resources available. And any other script that uses this class are subject to have the error.

You have to configure more connections on mysql config file on the server. If you don't have this access, ask the support to do it or change for a hosting company with more connections allowed!

Other option is to implement a Singleton pattern on this class, so it reuses same pool of connections, and don't explode the limit.

If you get this max_user_connections message first optimize your database table.

How to optimize database table and query:

Index your table field in mysql
In select query remove `*` and write which you need field
Closed mysql_connection

回答3:

Check the MAX USER_CONNECTIONS setting on your MySQL server for the user. In PHPMyAdmin go to the server page (Click on the Server:<>) and in the sub-menu click on priviledges. Edit the user dbo343879423 and the MAX USER_CONNECTIONS will be on the right side. By default I believe it is set to 0 (unlimited), yours maybe restricted depending on who setup the server.

I'm not sure how your Database class is being used but if you are instantiating the class multiple times consider creating a private static variable Database in the database class and creating a public static method getDatabase() which instantiates the database connection if it is null and returns the instance.

回答4:

For what its worth I wanted to include a situation I ran into where I received this message due to an incorrect placeholder:

      $sql_str = 'SELECT prod_id FROM ' . $this->table_name["product"] . ' WHERE prod_sku =:p_sku';
    $arr[':prod_sku'] = $s_sku;

In addition I was doing a large number of queries. I suspect that the error compounded with the large number of queries caused this issue. When I fixed the query the connections issue when away.

回答5:

For this on Godaddy shared hosting, you cant change the MAX_USER_CONNECTION value. To find it, click Server<>, then click Variables in the menu-bar. Mine is set to 200.
