email notify when error querying database

Recommended Posts

i wish to catch any errors that may happen when a query is made to the mysql database.

i have it so that an error message pops up when it happens but can i have an email sent to me telling me this too, as the visitor may not let me know.

can this be done?

thanks in advance.

That's right -- basically, as long as you can trap the call the generates the error, you can handle it however you see fit (and so you should). Silent errors -- or even worse, errors that the user sees and can do nothing about -- should never exist.

I always get annoyed when I see the typical "an error has ocurred.... please contact the webmaster". If they know an error occurs, the webmaster should be contacted automatically! That's how it works on every project I've ever written.

Well, I'm not particularly familiar with PHP's error/exception handling, but at least for DB connections and queries, you can simply call your own custom error handler on any errors instead of calling die(). For other parsing-related errors, I assume that there's a way to catch the DIE signal, much like there is in Perl.
