[PHP] error message handling
I tried to send this before, so if I did, forgive me, but I don't think it worked last time .:) I'm trying to find a way to handle errors by number. For example, if I get a "directory already exists" error, I want to know what the number that is so I can check the return value on the function that gave the error. That made no sense. Lemme try again. Instead of getting the php-generated error message, I want to create my own so the user has a nice message instead of one that makes it look like I don't know what I'm doing. :) Any suggestions?

Re: [PHP] error message handling
You probably want to suppress the error message with an @ symbol. Try
putting an "@" before the function calls that give you errors.
you want to avoid doing that, I recommend properly handling the error.
?php
$x = @php_function_here();
?
This suppresses the error function. Many functions return FALSE if
unsuccessful, so you can test and supply your own error message.
better to write a handler to deal with your errors properly.
?php
if ($x == FALSE) {
print ("error.");
}
?
If you find yourself doing this alot, you may want to create a wrapper
function or wrapper class around the original. Look at PHPLIB's DB_SQL
class for an example of how they suppress error messages. Look at
www.php.net for more info.
or have a look at binarycloud: http://www.binarycloud.com
