Supressing error messages from MySQL

Hi I am working on a Mysql/PHP3 based banner rotation program and would like to know how to suppress the error messages form MySQL. If the program is unable to connect to the database I have it loading a default image. This way I will know if there is problem. But, I would also like to get rid of the ugly error message that is spit out on the screen so the rest of the world doesn't know there is problem. How to get rid of: Warning; MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /path/to/php/script.php3 on line 16 or even send it to a file for later reference?
