Redirecting when sql error

[bunner_bob]

Is there any way to redirect a user to a different page when they get a fatal error due to a bad URL?

Currently in my db class I have the line:

$result = mysql_query($query, $dbconnect) or trigger_error('SQL ' . $query . "\nREQUEST_URI = " . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . " and HTTP_REFERER = " . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], E_USER_ERROR);

Which (on the live site, with error display suppressed) just returns a white page (though it does write the error to a log file, which is important).

I'd like to trigger the error, so I get the log info, but not show the user a white page.

Is this possible?

Well ... You could write a function that does the logging and accepts multiple parameters. Of which you will need atleast the URL to be redirect to, and a mysql_error() variant. Your function could use a header or meta redirect since no output will be sent to the browser on a fatal error. It should all be possible since die() is allowed to execute code before the script dies.
