MySQLi and exceptions

[9three]

very nice thanks for that.

I didn't modify anything lol, straight copy and paste.

class OurDatabase
{
    protected $oConnection = null;
    
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->oConnection = @new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'mysql');
        if(mysqli_connect_errno() > 0)
        {
            throw new Exception(sprintf('Cannot connect to database: %s', mysqli_connect_error()));
        }
    }
}

try
{
    $oDB = new OurDatabase();
    echo 'connected';
}
catch(Exception $oException)
{
    echo $oException->getMessage();    
} 

Same exact thing I only added the connected.

So you've changed the credentials to something which you know to be incorrect and it still says connected?

If so, you've got me!

I changed the parameters to something that would be false but it doesn't throw an exception. Just says "connected".


EDIT:
oh wow I didn't even notice that I actually have a database named "mysql". I guess that came with XAMPP. duuuuhhh

It's working like a charm now, thanks!
