Indeed.

ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'hhh' (1)Array ( [0] => ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'hhh' (1) ) 1 Can you explain a bit more what this do ? 2>&1 For example will i only get stderr or do i get stdout and stderr messages ?

The 2>&1 syntax redirects stderr to stdout, it does not do anything with stdout. So yes, you will still also get stdout messages. This no longer has anything to do with PHP. I suggest you Google for info on Linux pipes. -Stut
