I'm seldomly getting this error:

A Database Error Occurred

Unable to select the specified database: xxx

The database works and using the "normal" php functions works too.. I would love to know what php is telling code igniter.

How can I do this?

You may enable error reporting from index.php on root by setting:
error_reporting(E_ALL);

This continues to show the:

Code:

A Database Error Occurred

Unable to select the specified database: xxx

instead of the "real" php error

What you're seeing isn't a PHP error, it's an error being returned from your database. You can tell because the top of it says a database error occurred. CI has a completely separate error view for errors returned from the database. If it's a PHP error, the message would say "A PHP Error was encountered."

Just open your apache log file and go to last line. You can also use CI log file to save PHP errors into log file. Open application/config.php and change $config['log_threshold'] to '4'. All errors will save into system/logs/ folder.

CI has custom error page for some part. Database, mysql query, unaccessible uri etc.

Hi from Argentina.

To show all php errors, i just update de index.php like this:


if (defined('ENVIRONMENT'))
{
switch (ENVIRONMENT)
{
case 'development':
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On'); // <----- added
break;

case 'testing':
case 'production':
error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors','Off'); // <----- added
break;

default:
exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
}
}
