Customize error messages?

[Anon]

I'm using MySQL. I want, if a connection error arises, show my own error message instead of the one from MySQL or PHP. How do I do that?

Thanks / Henrik

put an @ in front of the mysql function so it doesn't return an error, then use mysql_errno() to see if there was an error.

$resource = @("<SQL HERE>");
$error = mysql_errno($resource);

if ($error) {
echo "There was an error";
}
