MySQL error page

calavera

I'm currently using a free MySQL/PHP host, as I learn this language, and was wonderng if there was anyway to let the user know if the MySQL server is down.<br>
I don't want all those errors to display n the page, so is there someway to know that the server is down, and redirect them to another page?<br>

Hi,

Maybe use something like this...

<?
// Try and connect
$success = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");

if (!$success) // If connection failed
{
header("Location: errorpage.php");
EXIT; // Exit script
}
