Author how to hide an error message
Anne Bos

Somewhere in my homepage I offer acces to a database. Using php all
works fine, mostly. I'm using die() with an appropriate message in
case the server is down or something is wrong. So far, so good.
However, if there is something wrong I always get, prior to my own
message: Warning (and a text). This is very well and usefulwhen
preparing thins like this. But not always. I know there is a way to
hide these warnings, but I forgot. (I remember it's very simple too.)
Can anyone tell me?
Thanks in advance.

you can suppress an error message by placing an @ in front of the function
for example @mysql_connect()

Also if you want to hide message but actually do something based on a
particular error message you can look at PHP manual, Exception Handling
in Chapter 10 for Try() Catch() processing...

Just a note if you are going to use try and catch ensure you are using php 5
as it was a new feature in this version and is not available for php 4.x
