Errors in php/mySQL

Hi there,

I wonder if there is any command to hide
php and mySQL errors from the user, and replace
them with a customized message, en maybe even
send a mail with the error to a defined email adress..

Greetings and thanks in advance

Mail to my "From:" address is readable by all at http://www.dodgeit.com/

TEXT-ONLY mail to the whole "Reply-To:" address ("My Name" <my@address>)

You can do this several ways.

1. You can turn error reporting off by putting this at the top of the
script

error_reporting(0);

2. You can create an error handler like so

$connection = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die("Could
not connect to MySqld. Can't continue!");

On scripts I create I add a function called report_error(); It accepts
one argument and that is the error message to be displayed. If an error
is to occur then an email is sent to me and an error message is shown
to the user.

Well the easiest/best way to do this would acctually be to use the @
symbol before the function to cache the error, and then use the !
operator like so..
$query = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news",$db);
if(!$query){
//code for error here
echo "error?";
}

I personally find this better because then you can have personalized
code like the emailing, because with the die function it just exits the
code with a message, if you use my method you can run any code you
want, or continue with the page. The @ is like saying "when an error
occurs, just return the error, don't display it".

examples..
@mysql_connect(...)
@mysql_select_db(...)
@mysql_query(...)

any function you want.
