[RESOLVED] MySQL Error Trapping

[TheBigB]

Hi there,

The last two hours I've been fiddling around trying to build a script for MySQL error trapping.
The problem particularly is mysql_select_db where I can't catch the error.

What I have at the moment:

    function db_select($dbame){
        $res = @mysql_select_db($dbname, $conn);
         if (mysql_errno() > 0) {
            $host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
            $uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
            $extra = 'error.php?code=6002&from='.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
            header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra");
        }       
    } 

It doesn't give an error if a incorrect table name is used.
The question is:
Am I expecting php to give an error while it shouldn't or is there something wrong with the code?

By the way, if someone has a better redirection script, I would appreciate it.
