If we define a variable that is a connection to the database:



$db_something = @mysql_connect("yourhost", "database",
"password");
if (!$db_something) {
echo( "(p)Unable to connect to the database.(/p)" );
exit();
}



(brackets used in place of html angle brackets in code above)


... the "@" tells the function to fail silently and displays your
custom error message rather then the MySQL default error message.

There is a complete package you can download from sourceforge.net
that you can double-click on and it will automatically install the Apache
Server Software, PHP, MySQL, and PHPAdmin to test scripting on your local
machine.
