Hi, i try to understand the error_reporting statement and to avoid all warning or error messages. for example i stop the postgresql service and i try to connect to it. when error_reporting is set to E_ALL, i get the following warning : *Warning*: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect<https://192.168.1.2/se_admin/en/logon/function.pg-connect>]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in * L:\Webserver\se\log\checklogin.php* on line *48* Couldn't Connect: but if i have the error_reporting set to 0, i only get my die message "Couldn't connect". i would like to know if i let the setting "E_ALL" do i have a way how to not display the warning message to end users but to display only "Couldn't connect" ? in fact to have the same behavior as error_reporting set to 0. thx. -- Alain ------------------------------------ Windows XP SP3 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008
