Prevent connection errors to pop up ... - El Forum - 10-13-2012
[eluser]Sven Delle[/eluser]
I'm checking for a connection with (yes, I know it's not properly escaped):
Code:
$db_conn = new mysqli($this->input->post('host'), $this->input->post('mysql_admin'), $this->input->post('mysql_password'));
if ($db_conn->connect_errno)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}I'm retreving the result in another function which is supposed to handle the different views. But when the connection fails, due to wrong credentials, I get PHP errors popping up in the view.
Code:
Message: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'blabla'@'blabla' (using password: YES)How do I avoid that, and handle them myself?
And I'm looking for a non specific server solution, as I'll be running this on various servers over which I have no control. So I'm not looking for error_reporting reconfigurations.

I tried with a try / catch routine. But it still gave med PHP errors in the views. So I ended up adding a @ before new mysqli ... but it stills seems like a hack of sorts.
