Hi, I have been using Hostgator (shared) for years. Recently, last 4 weeks, almost every week for a day when ever I enter my websites, they give me an error like "Error: No Database Connection", then everytime I contact to Hostgator support and they fix it, but they don't tell me what is really going on with my database system. (They just say my websites are not hacked or something they are doing some update, that is the reason.) So my questions are; 1- What can be the problem that I always have an database connection error and my websites are down for some hours everyweek? (I m not a db expert, so can't figure it out) Is it same with other hostings too? (I have not used any others before) 2- Hostgator users: Do you face this kind of problems too? 3- I have seen the "Web Host List" topic, but i don't know if the list was updated, so I would like to know if you have any hosting suggestions that you don't face this kind of problems. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Hello guys, I do not know if anyone work or have worked with the "elFinder (file manager)" .. I incorporate "elFinder" to my platform .. I have the following question .. Have its connector: <?php error_reporting(0); // Set E_ALL for debuging include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinderConnector.class.php'; include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinder.class.php'; include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinderVolumeDriver.class.php'; include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinderVolumeLocalFileSystem.class.php'; // Required for MySQL storage connector include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinderVolumeMySQL.class.php'; // Required for FTP connector support include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elFinderVolumeFTP.class.php'; /** * Simple function to demonstrate how to control file access using "accessControl" callback. * This method will disable accessing files/folders starting from '.' (dot) * * @param string $attr attribute name (read|write|locked|hidden) * @param string $path file path relative to volume root directory started with directory separator * @return bool|null **/ function access($attr, $path, $data, $volume) { return strpos(basename($path), '.') === 0 // if file/folder begins with '.' (dot) ? !($attr == 'read' || $attr == 'write') // set read+write to false, other (locked+hidden) set to true : null; // else elFinder decide it itself } $opts = array( // 'debug' => true, 'roots' => array( array( 'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED) 'path' => '/home/', // path to files (REQUIRED) 'URL' => dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/home/', // URL to files (REQUIRED) 'accessControl' => 'access' // disable and hide dot starting files (OPTIONAL) ) ) ); // run elFinder $connector = new elFinderConnector(new elFinder($opts)); $connector->run(); I want him to make the call the "$screen" (folder will be created automatically by the user) of each user .. and not the "/home/" (as an example of put) .. the "$screen" comes from my platform, and I add the "elFinder" to it .. Imagine that each user creates "1/2/3 or 4, etc .." folders .. The user then enters the "elFinder" and see the folder created "1/2/3 or 4" (created on the left side of the folders ) and want only see your folders him. My Example.. It gives me error when I try to use these functions .. I use these functions for the "$screen" .. Of course, that I try connect only the folder .. but the result was 0 .. //za screen imeto function clean($string) { $string = str_replace(' ', '-', $string); // Replaces all spaces with hyphens. $string = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $string); // Removes special chars. return preg_replace('/-+/', '-', $string); // Replaces multiple hyphens with single one. } //end $srvname = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['servername'])); //ime na servera $port = (int)$_POST['ports']; //port na servera $ip = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['serverip'])); //serverip $screen = clean($srvname).$port.'_'.uniqid(); //screen imeto $dir = "/home/"; $opts = array( // 'debug' => true, 'roots' => array( array( 'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED) 'path' => '$dir/$screen', // path to files (REQUIRED) 'URL' => dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '$dir/$screen', // URL to files (REQUIRED) 'accessControl' => 'access' // disable and hide dot starting files (OPTIONAL) ) ) ); This example of more folders.. $opts = array( 'roots' => array( array( 'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED) 'path' => 'path/to/files/first_root', // path to files (REQUIRED) 'URL' => 'http://localhost/files/first_root/', // URL to files (REQUIRED) 'alias' => 'First home', // The name to replace your actual path name. (OPTIONAL) 'accessControl' => 'access' // disable and hide dot starting files (OPTIONAL) ), array( 'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', 'path' => 'path/to/files/second_root', 'URL' => 'http://localhost/files/second_root/', 'alias' => 'Second home' ) ) ); But I need to be automatic, for each creation of user.. I use the variable "$screen" to create automatic folder of user.. but how to call the database of $screen ? the $screen exist only on my platform.. I don't know if you understand me.. Regards, Joob
