Re: die function

Hi all, just to give you another solution that I've successfully adopted: function die_script($errmsg) { $sendto = "xxxx@xxxx.it";

             $from = "noreply@xxxxx.com";
             $subject = "FAILED";
             $message = "CONNECTION FAILED\nTYPE OF ERROR:\n" . mysql_error();
             $message .="\n\n";
             $headers = "From: $from\r\n";
             mail($sendto, $subject, $message, $headers);
              print $errmsg . "</body></html>";

die; } $connessione = mysql_connect ("192.168.168.1","user","password") or die(die_script($errmsg)); mysql_select_db ("dbnamei"); Thanks for your help Regards Barbara

Hi all, I have a machine that must insert in cron in a mysql db in another remote machine. The problem is that I cannot know if the connection in the first machine (adsl) go down because no entry in the machine log is generated. I would like to redirect the die function in a e-mail that say me what happens.

I think the way you want to solve this problem is to create a customized error handler. Check out this link: http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php <?php function email_error_handler($level, $msg, $file, $line) { switch ($level) {

    /** E_ERROR, E_USER_ERROR, etc. */
    mail_to_admin("$level: $msg in $file on line $line");

} } function mail_to_admin($msg) { /** stuff */ } ?> -- Teach a man to fish...
