Can i execute some code in the or die of a query? I want to do this if the update of the db fail: setcookie (“Login”, “”, time() – 60*60);

Here is the update.
mysql_query($UpdateCookie,$db) or die(“Error:”.mysql_error());

@crh3675Apr 19.2004 — don't use die. Create a custom function and use that:

[code=php]
function halt($msg){
setcookie ("Login", "", time() - 60*60);
print $msg;
exit;
}


$result=@mysql_query($sql) or halt(mysql_error());
[/code]

@SamKookauthorApr 19.2004 — but can we put a or on every instruction like a setcookie?

@crh3675Apr 19.2004 — I don't see why not, just make sure to use the @ to supress errors before the command you are calling

@shimonApr 20.2004 — It's not necesarily bad style to do that, but it could lead to some pretty bad coding habits, especially if you suppress errors (which really is bad practice)

Hmm, but do make sure that you only use it with functions that do actually return false if they fail! so just make sure you think well about the logic of what you're doing and you'll be fine ?

Success!
