Answer 1

You are passing the fifth parameter of the mysqli object as the $dbName, but that should be the $dbPort which is optional, and must be an integer. You have to reorganize your parameters to match this:
mysqli::__construct ([ string $host = ini_get("mysqli.default_host") [,string $username = ini_get("mysqli.default_user") [, string $passwd = ini_get("mysqli.default_pw") [, string $dbname = "" [, int $port = ini_get("mysqli.default_port") [, string $socket = ini_get("mysqli.default_socket") ]]]]]] )
In order: $host, $username, $passwd, $dbname and $port. I don't see any room there for your $dbserver.
UPDATE:
Just use this:
public function __construct(){
if(!isset($this->db)){
// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli($this->dbHost, $this->dbUsername, $this->dbPassword, $this->dbName);
if($conn->connect_error){
die("Failed to connect with MySQL: " . $conn->connect_error);
}else{
$this->db = $conn;
}
}
}
And get rid of that $dbServer.
