Re: php die function for MySQL connection errors

Hi, I have a quick question about using the PHP die() function. I'm building a site around a MySQL database, and when I connect to the database from a PHP page I use the following code: $connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die("Error connecting to SQL server"); $db = mysql_select_db($database, $connection) or die("'Error connecting to database"); you haven't told us what error messages you are getting - however my guess is that your header() call fails because of the error message produced by mysql_connect() if so you can try @mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) instead so that error messages to browser are suppressed ( you can achieve the same by editing your php.in)
