    echo $row[0];

} mysql_close($m); } catch (exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } This allows you to remove all the nasty if ($conn) could, and move your error handling into a singular place. I *really* would like this for internal functions. We could also make a new type of exception "internalexception," which a user has to specifically catch. This way unless you explictly specify that you want to catch an internalexception, it will default to just outputting an error message. Sounds like a great idea to me!

Yes to me, too! I'll change my error2exception thingie to reflect your idea. marcus
