here are the issues i see;
you should have a private static for the instance of dbaccess
you should have a private instance variable for the instance of the mysqli
class
you should be able to programatically handle failure to connect to the
database
in the code i show here, you do not have to return the mysqli instance from
dbaccess::GetDb()
if you prefer, that method would return the instance to the singleton, then
you would
have a public accessor method that would return the instance of the mysqli
class.
this is the simpler of the 2 options.
class dbaccess{
private static $instance = null; // instance of dbaccess
public static $othervar=33; // dont know what this is for, but you
can keep it if you want
private $mySqliConn = null; // instance of mysqli
private function dbaccess() {
$this->mySqliConn = new mysqli("localhost",USER,PASSWD,DB);
if(mysqli_connect_errno()) {
throw new RuntimeException(mysqli_connect_error());
}
}
public static function GetDb(){
if(dbaccess::$instance == null) {
dbaccess::$instance = new dbaccess();
}
return $this->mySqliConn;
}
}
