Failure to connect to mySQL DB via PHP (msqli object-oriented issue)

Question

I'm trying to connect from my Heroku app to a mysql db (Xeround) in an object-oriented way:

$this->db = new mysqli(
    Credentials::databaseHost(), 
    Credentials::databaseUsername(), 
    Credentials::databasePassword(), 
    Credentials::databaseName());

(for clarity--> this line is located within the constrcutor of a central dispatcher I use. The sql connection is injected by this dispatcher if needed)

In my locally running production environment everything is working fine, however once I test it on Heroku the app hangs at the above point. No error msgs.

Any suggestions?

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having a similar problem which seems to suggest that Heroku does not support mysqli. — TheBestBigAl
