Is there a way to get a database query to fail gracefully, so that rather than calling Die(), it can work around the problem? In other words, to do something like:
if (mssql_connect($sDBhostname,$sDBusername,$sDBpassword)) { // connection ok - work with it } else { // database down - work around it } // continue with rest of page Rather than using the following, which causes the page to quit in mid flow: mssql_connect($sDBhostname,$sDBusername,$sDBpassword) or die("DATABASE FAILED TO RESPOND."); Thanks Andy Clarke -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
