Grafully crashing

[Sims]

Hi,

My Web site is working ok, (well i am still testing it on my local server).
But when i was testing i stopped MySQL and therefore there was no more
database available, so far so good.
So there i was going to the index.php and to my horror i saw a lot of error
messages, ... as expected.

But i cannot have that situation with my users, i must nicely tell them that
i need to invest in more bandwidth or something.
What would be a graceful way of saying that my DB is out of service for now
call latter.

Also when i notice the error, (when my mysql_connect(...) fails), how would
i redirect to 'sorrynodatabase.php' page and throw always what ever
processing has been don already?
The whole site relies on the DB so if it is not working i might as well call
it a day and say sorry.

Many thanks

Regards
Sims

if you call mysql_connect with an @ infront so @mysql_connect it wont
produce any error messages therefor...

$rli = @mysql_connect(...);

if (!$rli)
{
<Whut ever should be done when there is an error>
}

you can use @ with the other mysql functions as well.
