Surpressing an error using @

[newphpbie]

I am trying to surpress an error which I get when the sql query tries to collect results before any search criteria have been inputted. I know that ultimately, using '@' to surpress errors is a bad thing, because good code doesn't produce errors. BY hey, forget about good coding for a sec and I ust want this to work without showing me any error msg's.....

The line of code I am trying to completly surpress is

$result=@mysql_query($query)or Die(mysql_error());

I've managed to surpress the first errors but I still get the error (Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: NO))

I thought that I could stop this error by adding an '@' just beofore 'Die' but this didn't work.

Any ideas?

Please.....

I'm thinking a complete review of layout of my code is in need, Are there any prog's out there which will scan through my code and organise it for me? I've seen it done for Java.....

The error you're seeing is probably the one output by the die() invocation.

I know...but is there a way to surpress it?

to elaborate... the correct output of the die() function is to output what's between the ()... so supressing the error is not going to supress the proper output. If you don't want to output any error message on that line (and I highly recommend against this, but you already knew that)

$result = @mysql_query($query);
