Re: Error notification and pretty error page

Hi Dan, > How can i include error notification, like if an MySQL error occurs, > to notify me of the offending page and what the error was, while > having the page die quietly or nicely, like an message saying that > the webmaster will be notified please continue? you can make a generic function to be called when such error occured. the fucntion will print a nice/default error msg to user and you can log detail information regarding the error into logfile or DB, or even send out a notification email to you. function fatal_error($msg, $file, $line) { //$msg : the to be logged //$file: name of file which trigger the error //$line: line number which trigger the error } the usage: include('<lib which contain fatal_error()>'); @mysql_query or fatal_error (mysql_error(), __FILE__, __LINE__); __FILE__ and __LINE__ are php predefined constant to indicate current file and line number which is being parsed/executed. you always have to pass this __FILE__ and __LINE__ because PHP dont have the ability to "backtrack" from which file/line a function is called :( and dont forget to add "@" sign in front of the PHP's function, to surpress the error msg generated by PHP. -- Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no greater waste as a waste of time
