Hi:
I use pg_connect() to connect to my postgresql database, when there is a mistake, the php engine will echo the error message, can someone tell me how to catch this error message to give its value to a variable. I guess error_handler can do, any other methods?

eg. I want to catch this error message and make it the value of a variable named $messagebody, and then send it to my mailbox.

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You can suppress an error message by prefixing the function with the at symbol (@).
  http://www.php.net/operators.errorcontrol

$link = @pg_connect();

If pg_connect fails, it returns false.
  http://www.php.net/pg_connect

You can test the value of $link and send yourself an email if $link is FALSE.


Also, you should read the manual section on error handling functions:
  http://www.php.net/errorfunc


Take care,
