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
#connects the database and handling the result
class __database {
protected $connection = null;
protected $error = null;
#make a connection
public function __construct($hostname,$username,$password,$database)

if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
}

public function fetch_all($query)
{

{

}
else
{

return false;
}
}
#fetches a result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both
public function fetch_assoc_while($query)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> query($query);
if($result)
{
while($row = $result -> fetch_assoc())
{
$return_this[] = $row;
}
if (isset($return_this))
{
return $return_this;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#fetch a result row as an associative array
public function fetch_assoc($query)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> query($query);
if($result)
{
return $result -> fetch_assoc();
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#get a result row as an enumerated array
public function fetch_row($query)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> query($query);
if($result)
{
return $result -> fetch_row();
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#get the number of rows in a result
public function num_rows($query)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> query($query);
if($result)
{
return $result -> num_rows;
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#performs a query on the database
public function query($query)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> query($query);
if($result)
{
return $result;
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#escapes special characters in a string for use in a SQL statement, taking into account the current charset of the connection
public function real_escape_string($string)
{
$result = $this -> connection -> real_escape_string($string);
if($result)
{
return $result;
}
else
{
$this -> error = $this -> connection -> error;
return false;
}
}
#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.
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.
