If Error then stop loading?

[ShoeLace1291]

I have a database connection page included at the top of my main page.  I was wondering if it were possible to cancel the execution of the rest of the page coding if an error occurs while connecting.  If so, how would I do that?

Do a mysql_error() check and if it's present, redirect elsewhere.

Here's another really simple solution:

 

$query = "SELECT ...";
$run = msyql_query($query);
if($run){
// query success
}else{
// query unsucessful
die("Unable to connect to database.  Error: ".mysql_error()."");
}
