Suppose, during an attempted connection to a database, an error condition 
occurs, where the connection cannot be made.

<?php
. . .
$db = pg_connect("dbname=rap user=postgres") die ("Connection failed - please 
try again.");
. . . .
?>

Is it advisable for such a message to be displayed to the User, or should 
such reporting be sent to a log of some sort. 

(I'm unclear of what use the message would be to the User, and since the site 
is not on my server, but on my IP's, I would definetly like to know if a 
failed connection occurs, so that I could investigate the problem) 

What code could/should I place in the error message -- for example, how can I 
arrange for an e-mail to be sent to me (if that would be advisable)? How 
would you handle this situation? 


Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,
Tia,
Andre
