PDO Connection Test

Question

I am writing an installer for one of my apps and I would like to be able to test some default database settings.

Is this possible using PDO to test valid and invalid

Answer 1

There's a missing closing parenthese at the end of PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.

Should be:

$this->pdo = new PDO($cfg['DB'], $cfg['DB_USER'], $cfg['DB_PASS'],
    array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION));
