How to disable Warnings

**GUIR** · 06-03-2007 10:12 AM

Hi!

I'm using PHP to connect to an Access database via ODBC connection.

It is successful, however when there is an error, warning from PHP overrides die() statements given by me. It first shows its' warning, and then the error message within the die().

But I just want to show the message in die() statement, not the one generated by PHP or ODBC.

The following is an example

Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in H:\wamp\test\index.php on line 7
Could not connect to the Database.

Text in Red generated by PHP & ODBC.
Text in Blue generated by the die() statement.

The following is the code used.

PHP Code:


        $odbc = odbc_connect($dsn,$user,$pass) or die('Could not connect to the Database.');

It will be a great help if someone let me know how to limit the error message to die().

Best Regards

Use the error_reporting() function

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);

There are also other options that you can pass into the error_reporting function, and you can even use the "@" operator to suppress errors... more information described here:
