Any PHP programmer guru here. Kindly assist. This script was working fine, but now has issues.

It points at this line. I'm not sure what i could have changed. Coz the only thing i changed was some page names. Like Site title, h1 and h2. The file is called class.php

 $this->db = new mysqli($this->configs->host, $this->configs->username, $this->configs->pass, $this->configs->database);

This is barely enough to do an analysis..the error could be carried over from a simple ; you have missed somewhere above this line of code.

Ok, here is the full Error Code as it appears on the error log. I have only changed the database name to :XXXXXXXXX

[04-Aug-2017 17:29:39 UTC] PHP Warning:  mysqli::mysqli(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/XXXXXXXXXX/public_html/includes/class.php on line 116

And here is the line 116 in the file class.php that it is pointing to:

 $this->db = new mysqli($this->configs->host, $this->configs->username, $this->configs->pass, $this->configs->database);

Can you do a diagnosis with that?

is it a remote DB, if yes, are you using an IP for the HOST or a HOSTNAME, error seems to indicate that you might be using the latter and the HOSTNAME is unresolvable

Hi, please, am a little new in php. Break it down. I'm hosting it on a server. It's a website that is live.

Your naming scheme might be wrong: wrong ip address or host name.

I only understand ramdisk error compiling resources failed

Sure. I think its the naming. Coz i changed some names in the $Config file. The problem is to figure out which one. Since its hard coded. Wasn't tracking changes.

which servers/addresses are you targeting?

 

[MegaKing]

try using the ip address not host name

$host = "ip address";

 

[Airtel]

Elder, it looks like you are using a static IP address whereas your server is having a dynamic IP. Please read khans response

what @amun is asking is if both the application and database server are running on the same machine. If yes then in your config file you can use

$host = "localhost";

or

$host = "127.0.0.1";

 

[Syntax_error]

Thanks Guys. Havent resolved it fully but this has give me some headway. Let me try changing the DNS. And hostname.

I have hosted the site. It's online. Not on 127.0.0.1
