Occasional Php Warning When Looping Multiple Mysqli Queries

[Johnny2]

My PHP script for mysqli queries works most of the time, but while running a loop that queries database many times, occasionally I'll get Warning:

PHP Warning:  mysqli_stmt::execute(): (HY000/2013): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in... blah blah blah

Can someone tell me if I need to modify the structure of my queries to make it work better?  Here's my example:

 

 

<?php

 

$host = "localhost";
$username = "blah_blah";
$password = "blah_blah";
$database = "blah_blah";

$mysqli = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $database,0,'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'); 
$mysqli->set_charset('utf8');

 

if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT column_A FROM table_X WHERE column_B=? AND column_C=? LIMIT 1")){
 $stmt->bind_param("si", $value_1, $value_2);
 $stmt->execute();
 $stmt->bind_result($column_A_value);
 $stmt->fetch();
 $stmt->close();
}

 

?>

Hi,

 

I would wrap the query attempt in a try/catch so you can at least display a friendly message if it fails to connect to the database. Check out:
