[PHP] Error Trapping
I'm having a hard time getting my head around this problem. I have to connect to a FoxPro database using an ODBC driver. Sometimes when I connect I get an error. The error doesn't occur all the time and usually another connect attempt works. I can trap the error through an error handler. However, I use a class to connect to the database. What I want to do is to check for that error and, if it occurs, try to connect again. Since the error handler is outside the class, how can I create the object again and make sure it gets passed back to my script that called it? I hope that made sense! Thanks!

Why is the error outside the class? If you connect with a class, something like:
public function __construct() {
$this-handle = false;
while($this-handle === false) {
$this-handle == odbc_connect();
}
}
ought to work fine. Alternatively, you could check out PDO, which is
supposed to be the next generation of database connections in PHP, and
won't create an object without a connection.

Re: [PHP] Error Trapping
Eddie,
Thanks for the tip. It suddenly occurred to me what I was doing
wrong. I do use an error trap but I was telling my script to stop
running after the error. So, now I ignore it and continue through the
loop you suggested. I guess it was working exactly the way I had
written it!
Thanks!

Sometimes all it takes is a fresh look at an old problem!

[PHP] Error trapping
I've gone an annoying problem. On our site I've trapped file does not exist errors at Apache level to send out my own error screen with a company logo, link to home page and a mailto link, but this doesn't work for any request for a page that would be parsed by php if it existed. In this case a valid html page (containing the php error) is returned. The problem seems to be that as far as Apache is concerned there isn't an error. I haven't found anything in php that allows me to trap errors like this. Error reporting levels aren't helpful as I still need the error trapped. I'm sure I'm not the first person who has come across this, and I'm hoping someone out there has found a way around it. I'm running PHP 4.0.0, Apache 1.3 on NT (yes I know, but our network manager has promised me a linux box) Tim Ward Senior Systems Engineer Please refer to the following disclaimer in respect of this message: http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] error trapping
I am wondering the best way to handle error trapping with PHP. I am farmiliar with languages, ColdFusion being one, that you can use TRY and CATCH statements. Any info would be appreciated.
