[RESOLVED] mysqli database class causing max connections error

[knowj]

I am using the singleton pattern for my database class. Instances are created in each class on $this->database and queries called using $this->database->query("SOME QUERY");

For some reason though each connection is not being closed and just sleeping cauing the max connections limit to be reached and taking every site down on the sever.

<?php
//Database class to implement singleton pattern on top of mysqli
class database extends mysqli
{
//create a singleton instance
private $report;
private static $instance = NULL;

//private constructor to prevent direct access
private function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct(constants::DBHOST, constants::DBUSER, constants::DBPASS, constants::DBNAME);
		if(mysqli_connect_errno())
			{
				throw new Exception(mysqli_connect_error(), mysqli_connect_errno());
			}
	}
//public create instance function to create singleton
public function getinstance()
	{
		if(self::$instance === null)
			{
				$c = __CLASS__;
				self::$instance = new $c;
			}
		return self::$instance;
	}
//prevent SQL injection
function antisql($data)
	{
		if (is_array($data))
			{
				foreach ($data as $name=>$value)
					{
						if (is_array($data[$name]))
							{
								foreach ($data[$name] as $name2=>$value)
									{
										$data[$name][$name2] = $this->real_escape_string($value);
									}
							}
						$data[$name2] = $this->real_escape_string($value);
					}
			}
		else
			{
				$data = $this->real_escape_string($data);
			}
		return $data;
	}
//prevent clone
public function __clone()
	{
		throw new Exception("Cannot clone ".__CLASS__." class");
	}

public function __destruct()
	{
		$this->close();
	}
}
?>

I can't see why your class should matter in this (but that doesn't mean it can't, of course 😉 ). Found this bug, which sounds related, but has to do with mysqli::real_connect(). 😕

Cheers for the info nogdog.

Does anything look out of the ordinary with how i have written this then? I just need to rule out me being a complete idiot within my code. But 8 connections for each page seems excessive. It does seem to be similar to the bug you linked to.
class products (extract)

	{
