Alternative To Trigger_error And Die?

[son]

I run a query and as I will put it live shortly want only to output a customer-friendly message with all the content below that there normally is. 'mysql_query o trigger_error will show error message, so this is a no no. Alternatively 'mysql_query or die' won't display the bottom content. What is best to do?Son

The resource contained in the result variable will resolve to false if the query fails, so you just have to check that.

$result = mysql_query($some_query);if ($result) {	do_something();} else {	echo "Oh no, we seem to be having a problem.";}continue_with_rest_of_page();

Great! This is working well;-)Son
