PDO Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active

Question

I know this has to be a simple fix and I partially understand why I am getting this error but don\'t know how to fix it. I\'ve looked over the docs but can\'t find a solutio

Answer 1

I ran into this problem due to an error in my PDO connection clause. I was trying to change the timezone upon connecting:

PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES utf8; SET time_zone = '$timezone';"

I changed it to:

PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES utf8, time_zone = '$timezone';"

And it worked fine.
