How to catch db_connect Exception? - 5flex - 03-16-2023
Hello!
In my code I have
PHP Code:
$DB = db_connect(self::DB_GROUP);
If DB_GROUP is wrong I have "ERROR - 17-03-2023 07:39:36 --> Error connecting to the database: mysqli_sql_exception: Access denied for user"
How I can cover this code in Exception?
PHP Code:
try {
$DB = db_connect(self::DB_GROUP);
} catch (DatabaseException | Exception $e) {
log_message('error', "Could not connect to external database");
return [];
}
But this block try...catch is not working...I have no log message and my script is falling, but I want execute return [].
P.S. I found a solution, but I don't like it at all
PHP Code:
if ($DB = db_connect(self::DB_GROUP)) {
try {
// ...my query
} catch(DatabaseException $e) {
return ['error' => 'error']
}
}
