PHP Error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting

Question

Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting! in ...\project\db.php on line 2

My db.php code

$db = mysql_connect ("localhost","db_user","password");
mysql_select_db("db_name",$db);

What's wrong?

this error seems to be caused by x-debug, there is an answer for this in here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4293775/increasing-nesting-functions-calls-limit — DevZer0, Jul 05 '13 at 12:07

thanks, this worked fine for me. I just used it at the script level for more security like: ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 200); – Daniel Fanica Jan 21 '14 at 11:20
This is not a valid solution, You need to check the code whether the code is wasting request with the db or with other resources. Your code is somehow misusing the resources. – Tausif Anwar Aug 25 '17 at 12:53
I changed mine to 4096, still get that error.. Clearly it must be a bug in the code? – rebellion Nov 23 '18 at 12:41

Go into your php.ini configuration file and change the following line:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=100

to something like:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=200

I'm also getting Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '2000' reached, aborting! I set `xdebug.max_nesting_level=2000` – phagento Jan 17 '14 at 04:14

mysql_connect will return a boolean therefor :

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db("databaseName");
?>
