PHP Try and Catch for SQL Insert

Answer 1

Use any method described in the previous post to somehow catch the mysql error.
Most common is:

$res = mysql_query('bla');
if ($res===false) {
  //error
  die();
}
//normal page

This would also work:

function error() {
  //error
  die()
}
$res = mysql_query('bla') or error();
//normal page

try { ... } catch {Exception $e) { .... } will not work!

Note: Not directly related to you question but I think it would much more better if you display something usefull to the user. I would never revisit a website that just displays a blank screen or any mysterious error message.
