How to handle DB connection error??

Dear all,

I want to write a script about DB connection error. Who can help me??

e.g.
dbx_connect($host, $user, $pwd)
or die("connection error");

It works. but I want to redirect a error page if connection error. How do??

Simple: forget the evil 'or die' and use an IF statement:

if (!dbx_connect(bladebla))
{
// connect error
}
else
{
// connection established
};

This will redirect the output to error.php if the function call fails to connect to the database

@dbx_connect($host, $user, $pwd) or header("location: error.php");
