Thanks lance and David for the reply. :)
Yes, I suspected as much, *BUT* let me explain what I am trying to do:
I have a script I am writing that uses a MySQL backend. I'm including an
initial configuration interface via the webbrowser. During initial
configuration, the user provides parameters for dbhost, dbname, dbpass etc
etc...
If I simply try and connect, and it fails, I don't want my script to error
out, or even display an error... I just want it to move along and let me
deal with informing the user that his database configuration does not work
correctly.
now, to do this, could I do something as simple as:
$conntest = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
if ($conntest == "FALSE") {
// Do my "Oops didn't work stuff here"
} else {
// Continue with whatever it was I was doing.
}
would that work as I expect it to?
thanks!
Jason
