Bug 23891 MySQL Runs Out Of Connections
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23891
According to this report, what the person was asking isn't a bug, it's
a feature (rimshot).
I'm running into this problem almost exactly, and really don't
understand what the answer is. The support person snidely suggests
reading the manual, which is always great advice, but in this case
really doesn't help out.
Could someone explain what "If you use mysql_select_db() or slightly
different connection string you can have more open connections then
you have process." means?
If I don't use mysql_select_db, then what do I use?

Query Runs In Mysql But Returns Error 1064
The same query runs in mysql and in Zend interface but not runs when using inside php script. I am receiving the error: "1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'str_qry_Insert' at line 1" INSERT INTO fnd_script_type (type_name) VALUES ('test1') I already have tried it with as: INSERT INTO `fnd_script_type` (`type_name`) VALUES (`test1`) INSERT INTO fnd_script_type (`type_name`) VALUES (`test1`) INSERT INTO fnd_script_type (type_name) VALUES (`test1`) what am i doing wrong ?

Too Many MySQL Connections!
I had the "Too many MySQL connections" error on a page that is password protected to 150 users, and it uses one simple table and a simple SELECT * FROM table. The site wasn't launched or noticed, so all 150 users can't hit it at the same time. What can cause this upsetting error?

Two Mysql Connections
Not really tried going two ways at once, but I have an include_once connection to a mysql_database, now I need to retrieve info from a second mysql_database .. My mysql_connects are getting confused. So, (I've had a couple of beers), am I opening up too many at once? I'll look again in the morning, but am thinking that it is a bad idea to leave two connections open all the time ...

2 MySQL Connections
There's a database which stores various applications and a separate database (different connection) that stores forum information. These are tied together through a userid column. I need to have a forum rank posted along with the application list, and was wondering if it's possible to have 2 active connections. Essentially, while the rows are fetched from the database, it can pull one bit of info from the other. Is this possible or do I need to recode and merge the databases?

Mysql Connections
I am all for saving on connections but I dont really understand their reasonings and procedure. When I code, I place one db connect at the top of the page and then I do my queries. But in their connection they first check to see if the connection already exists. Isnt this redundant when using mysql_connect? Since the connection closes at the end of the script, shouldnt that mean that there will never be an available connection when you go to a page? or should I be adding this sort of connection checking in to my scripts?

Mysql Connections With Authentication
Maybe this is a foolish request but I am a newbie to all of this. I have a private members site with all pages protected using the below script and it works very well. I also have a quick and dirty (dreamweaver coded) page that displays my online music,both need a connection to a mysql database, same database but different tables. My problem is and no doubt the experts here will already have guessed both codes will not exist on same page, is there a way around this?, if so please help me. and yes my code maybe messy but I am trying to learn. I have included samples below. $connection = mysql_connect($this->HOST, $this->USERNAME, $this->PASSWORD); Script to protect member pages <? if (!class_exists (auth)) { include ("../auth.php"); } include ("../authconfig.php"); include ("../check.php"); if ($check["level"] != 6) { header('Location: ../no_access.php'); exit(); } ?> Connection for Music page $music = mysql_pconnect($hostname_music, $username_music, $password_music) or die(mysql_error()); Music page opening script <?php require_once('../Connections/music.php'); ?> <?php $currentPage = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PHP_SELF"]; $maxRows_Recordset1 = 10; $pageNum_Recordset1 = 0; if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['pageNum_Recordset1'])) { $pageNum_Recordset1 = $HTTP_GET_VARS['pageNum_Recordset1']; } $startRow_Recordset1 = $pageNum_Recordset1 * $maxRows_Recordset1; mysql_select_db($database_music, $music); $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT title, artist, link, server FROM music ORDER BY title ASC"; $query_limit_Recordset1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset1, $startRow_Recordset1, $maxRows_Recordset1); $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset1, $music) or die(mysql_error()); $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1); if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['totalRows_Recordset1'])) { $totalRows_Recordset1 = $HTTP_GET_VARS['totalRows_Recordset1']; } else { $all_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1); $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset1); } $totalPages_Recordset1 = ceil($totalRows_Recordset1/$maxRows_Recordset1)-1; $queryString_Recordset1 = ""; if (!empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) { $params = explode("&", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']); $newParams = array(); foreach ($params as $param) { if (stristr($param, "pageNum_Recordset1") == false && stristr($param, "totalRows_Recordset1") == false) { array_push($newParams, $param); } } if (count($newParams) != 0) { $queryString_Recordset1 = "&" . implode("&", $newParams); } } $queryString_Recordset1 = sprintf("&totalRows_Recordset1=%d%s", $totalRows_Recordset1, $queryString_Recordset1); ?>

Multiple Mysql Connections To The Same Db?

MySQL Persistant Connections
I have a problem with MySQL connections on my server. There are only about 10 different databases that are regularly accessed, using PHP scripts. This is done using mysql_pconnect, so the connections should be persistent. From what I learned, this would mean that if another connection is necessary for the same database/user combination, an old, already existing connection can be used without the need for establishing a new one. This sounds good to me, because I have only few databases that are often accessed, so this way there are only few connections open. Recently, however, I had a major problem when there were too many connections. There were more than the maximum, so no more connections were allowed. When I showed the processes, I saw that there were a lot of the same connections (same user accessing the same database). I do now understand why. If I use persistant connections, there is no need to create all these duplicate connections, right? I now kill off manually the connections every now and then so that there are not too many, but that's not a long term solution. I hope somebody knows how to limit the number of connections automatically.

Running Out Of Mysql-connections
I'm having a flash-file (swf) which is requesting info from a PHP-file every ten seconds. The PHP-file connects to a mysql-database, make a short query, and then close the connection, before it returns the info to the swf. Like this: $mysqli = mysqli_connect($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbuserpassword, $default_dbname, $port); //open connection $number = getNumber(); //the function makes a query, and return a number mysqli_close($mysqli); // closing connection echo "&number=$number"; // returns the number to yhe swf The problem is that it seems like the mysqli-connection will not close from time to time. I have a limitation of 1000 connections, which should be enough really. But if I run the flash-file for hours (say 8 hours), the limitation of 1000 OPEN connection is reached, even if I was hoping there should only be ONE open connection at a time.

Mysql Sleeping Connections
We're experiencing a problem with sleeping connections on one of our servers. We're not using persistant connections and every page ends with mysql_close(); So I cant imagine what is causing them and googling just brings up pconnect as the cause (which we're not doing). We dont have this problem on our other server, we get the occassional sleeper but I've never seen more than 2 active at the same time and never for very long.

"Please Wait" Page While Php Runs Mysql Queries
Does anyone have any idea what I should google to create a "splash page" that tells the user to wait while a few mysql quieries are run through the php page? It takes anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds, and I don't need a progress meter, just a splash page so they do not go anywhere and the user doesn't think there is a problem with their browser or network connection.

How To Handle 2 Mysql Database Connections
Okay, I know this has to be simple, but i've been searching it for a while now, I need to have two database connections open, database one will be to get information to query the second database. I am not sure how to set this up, I know how to get one database connected, but to get two databases on two different servers is a little above me and i'd love to know how to work it, I've been searching a while, and if you know of a website that has it, could you post it for me?

Apache+mySQL Leaving Connections Open?
I've recently started getting 'too many connections' from our website and I don't really know why. Nearly every page of our website includes a file which does a single pconnect which all my scripts share. At this point I would expect a single connection per httpd child running which is closed when the child is destroyed. mysql max_connections is currently 100 and httpd max clients is 100 so I shouldn't get this problem should I? As a shorter term fix, can anyone tell me the syntax to increase max_connections from my.cnf. The manual on the website is not very clear?

Sessions And Persistent Connections To MySQL Database
PHP/MySQL and I've heard about maintaining a persistent connection to the database. To save overhead, I'd like to maintain the connection in a session variable, but I have a few questions first. I'm able to establish session variables and test them with isset() to avoid re-defining them with each new web-page load. So is this really as simple as if (!isset($_SESSION['connection'])) { $connection = mysql_connect("SomeServer","UserName","password"); $_SESSION['connection'] = $connection; }; Will this work? and is there a better way to do it--or a more conventional way? What should I be thinking about vis a vis security regarding this connection. Is there a recommended way to make the session's connection variable "expire"? I suppose I could store the time the connection was established and then check the elapsed time with each web-page re-load, dumping the session if it's been too long. Is there a preferred way to store $connection without using $_SESSION[]?

Limits On Mysql Connections And Mysql_close Is Not A Soultion?
Using mysql_close() isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution. See also freeing resources. Freeing resources Due to the reference-counting system introduced with PHP 4's Zend Engine, it is automatically detected when a resource is no longer referred to (just like Java). When this is the case, all resources that were in use for this resource are made free by the garbage collector. For this reason, it is rarely ever necessary to free the memory manually by using some free_result function. Code:

Performance Issues With Frequently Closing/opening Mysql Connections?
I have been faced a couple of times with the situation that I wanted to write a script and was worried about a too frequent opening and closing mysql connections. To give some examples: 1)I am trying to develop a photoalbum (also posted a topic called "array / mysql question"). Of course I can use some wonderful open source albums but at the same time I want to get more familiar with all the ins and outs so my idea is a list of filenames, where the database connection should be opened, a statement like"select filenames from photos" , and, every filename maybe with a thumbnail is a link to a second page and the whole is followed by closing the connection. The second page could be something like opening the database connection, a statement like "select description ( and other fields) from photos where filename = $filename" , and closing the database again. Let's say the visitor looks at the picture and its description, clicks on a link to the first page with the thumbnails and agin the connection is opened and closed to execute the first select statement, the visitor chooses another picture etc. etc.... 2)On the left column there is a menu item "activiteiten". when there are special activities like a music performancein the near future they are shown below that menu item. A select statement is done where the first announcement date, and the last announcement date are checked and the records where the current date is between those values are selected (and shown in the menu bar of course). Again the connection is opened and closed again immediately after the select statement. However, this query is stored in "header.php" so on every page that is visited, the connection is opened and closed. It would also be nice to make a link on the "one-photo-page" to the previous and the next photo, which leads again to the open-select-close "ritual". I am not really a php guru (but not a newbie either) and unfortunately I could not find many info on google about the performance issues that can be involved when I decide to write such scripts. There were some vague indications that it is better to open and close a connection frequently than leave it open too long in order to execute more queries but I could not really find good documentation about it. I also thought to store the results of the query into a session variable but I am not sure about the performance issues of sessions either.

Query Runs Multiple Times Under Heavy Server Load.
I have been having an issue with some MYSQL queries running multiple times when the server is under a heavy load. Example, if I do an 'update Table1 set item1 = 0 where 1 = 1' This runs fine under normal conditions, but will repeat itself multiple times when the server is under load. Is this just an optimization or server resource issue. If so, I would assume the query would just timeout and not run at all instead of running a few times.

Persistent Connections
I just started coding with PHP a few days ago. My code interfaces with a simple database of the books I own. MySQL is running on my computer, and Apache/PHP is running on another. I tried using persistent connections to lessen the overhead of opening the TCP connection etc, but when I reload the page multiple times, PHP seems to make a new connection for each reload. I checked the processlist in MySQL and I had a whole bunch of sleeping connections from the webserver. So my question is... did I do something wrong? I basically just changed from connect to pconnect... and to test it I was just reloading the page, so it was using the same username and password for the database. Also, another question... how do I turn on compression when connecting to MySQL from a .php file? I don't have root access to the Apache machine.

Too Many Connections To PostgreSQL
I'm running into a problem wherein I'm unable to connect to my postgresql db because the maximum number of connections has been reached. I use ADOdb for my db work, and the thing is I'm using the PConnect function, so it's supposed to be using persistent connections. Since this is the case, I find it very strange that I'm having problems with the number of connections to postgresql. Also, I'm the only one using Postgresql on this server (a test machine) and I'm working on one area of my project (two or three pages) so it should definitely be reusing the connections.
