Cursed Error Messages

Hi everyone,
How do I get the error message?
I have a very long sproc that needs to be done in one transaction. I
have an error happening somewhere in the middle, but with a low enough
severity it doesn't terminate the procedure. To make sure I don't
miss any errors, I am storing @@error after every statement:
If @Error<=@@error Set @Error=@@error
that way at the end I can say if @error<>0 rollback trans.
How do I get the error message? I have the number, and what I get
from sysmessages has the wildcards in it %d and so on.
Also , I can't use Xact_Abort, the web user permissions don't allow
it.

Or better yet is there a better way to do this? Sql has
@@total_errors - since the server was started, how about since the
transaction or the sproc was started.
Thanks a ton

There is no way to get the text of the error message in SQL. You must
catch it on client level.

If your code is as above, there is a serious problem in your error
handling. @@error is set after each statement, so you will always
set @error to 0 above.

I have an article on my web site about error handling, that you may
find useful. http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-I.html.

This is a general computer question, but I'm writing in PHP so I'll post this to comp.lang.php. I've been writing a content management system. I've a Singleton object that keeps track of all errors and stores them in an array. As things work right now, I write out each error message individually. I'm thinking that as the code grows, this system will not continue to scale. Right now my software consists of 1.4 megs of PHP code. I don't...

I have no idea what is going on. I have a Login screen where someone types in their login information and this populates a datagrid based off of the login. Works great in debug and test through VS, however, when I change to release and put it out on the web it fails giving me the following error message The underlying connection was closed. Could not establish a trust relationship with the remote server.

I've made it habit to check all returns in my code, and usually, on most projects, I'll have an error function that reports error messages to some central location. I recently worked on a project where someone suggested to me I was spending too much time writing error messages, and that I was therefore missing the benefit of using a scripting language. The idea, apparently, is that the PHP interpreter writes all the error messages that are...
