“Lost connection to MySQL server during query”
If you don’t perform any query after creating connection to MySQL server, it may cause this problem.
The simple solution is to use mysql_ping PHP function to check the connection, if it’s lost, attempt to recreate it.
if (!mysql_ping($linkId)) {
mysql_close($linkId);
mysql_connect('host', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('db_name');
// do your normal queries here
}
Displaying Data From Arrays in Sortable Grids
Sometimes, you want to automatically render data from arrays, database queries… in the grids but feeling lazy to manually write HTML line by line. I’ve written a class named ‘Fete_ViewControl_DataGrid’ which can help you do that. This class also supports sorting, it can be easily integrated with other frameworks or your existing codes.
The class and examples have been uploaded to PHPClasses.org at http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/5476.html. I will update every further change on that repository.
I’ve received some emails that suggest paging feature. I’ll be trying to find a proper solution. Thank you all for your feedbacks
