Catching Errors -[RESOLVED]-

**Electroman** · Nov 13th, 2004, 09:54 AM

While the code is running say something like a database error ocours. I'm handling these using the @ before the functiosn then checking if the result is false. But if it is false then I want to scrap all the output so far and send a new page. Do I have to use a buffer or can I get away doing it without? Thanx.

Yes - you'll need to turn on output buffering. In my applications I usually create a function similar to die() which clears all output buffers and then outputs the error:

Something like this:

PHP Code:


<?php

    function error ($msg)

    {

        $level = ob_get_level();



        while ($level > 0) {

            ob_end_clean();

            --$level;

        }

?>

    <html>

    <head>

        <title>Photo Albums - Error</title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <span class="error"><?php echo($msg) ?></span>

    </body>

<?php

        exit;

    }

?>
