I\'m trying to redirect the user to a \"sorry page\", when the connection or any DB operation fails...
Well, I tried to use the \'header\' function checking IF the variable used to assign the connection string is empty... something like:
$connection = (\"//the hole thing to connect to mysql\") or die (\"//error message\");
if (!$connection) {
header (\"//the URL to my \'sorry page\"\');
exit;
}
It doesn\'t works because PHP stops immediataly and shows the \"die\" message when MySql is down But I don\'t wnato to show this to the user, wright?
Well, would someone please help me?
Thanx a lot,
Ricardo Leite
