error handling

Enable PHP ADODB handling

Snippet Written with a loving hand by kitt some time around 00:15 on 16 August 2009

By default, PHP's ADODB library will not give full error messages on pconnect, or route to an error handler. The error handler has to be enabled.

<?php
 
// pass any error messages triggered to error handler
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
 
include('adodb-errorhandler.inc.php');
include('adodb.inc.php');
 
// suppress error messages for the connection
ini_set("display_errors", "0");
try {
  $mydb = &ADONewConnection('mysql');
  $mydb->PConnect('dbhost','dbuser','dbpass','dbname');
} catch (exception $e) {
  // unable to connect to the DB (usually too many connections), redirect away                                                                                            
  header('Location: /error.html');
  exit();
}
