Make sure to put your string to give to die in parentheses--at least in PHP4 RC1. ie ... or die ("[Some string]");

HI Folks, with die you can also call a function. eg. : mysql_query("xxxx") or die mysql_error(); You can use your own function like : function errmailer() { global x; $err=mysql_error(); echo "There is an error"; mail("a@b.com","error message \n $x","$err","from : c@d.com"); } and then you can give a command at a desired place like mysql_query("xxxx") or die errmailer(); This can be useful quite a lot for debugging errors when they happen through unknown users and through unkbown events trigerred by the user unknowingly

HI Folks, with die you can also call a function.
eg. :
mysql_query("xxxx") or die mysql_error();
You can use your own function like :

function errmailer()
{
global x;
$err=mysql_error();
echo "There is an error";
mail("a@b.com","error message \n $x","$err","from : c@d.com");
}

and then you can give a command at a desired place like

mysql_query("xxxx") or die errmailer();

This can be useful quite a lot for debugging errors when they happen through unknown users and through unkbown events trigerred by the user unknowingly
