How to preset the MySQL error?

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to set a custom error if the database could not be connected to? I'm starting to "attempt" to create a CMS, and I want it to show a offline message when the database is either down to the information inputed has changed somehow.

Thanks, and Kind Regards!

To do this you suppress the normal error message by using '@' in front of the function
eg.
Code:

@$connection = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
if(!$connection){
echo "Sorry, we cannot connect you to the database at this time.";
}

Yes, that does work but it still shows the other MySQL errors. I want them to be gone and to just show the error I specify. I also want my site to not be available, but I suppose I must do that on each an every page...

Is there anyway to only display my error nothing else. Not even my template?

Thanks and kind regards.

instead of
Code:
if(!$connection){
echo "Sorry, we cannot connect you to the database at this time.";
}

use
Code:
if(!$connection){
die(Sorry, we cannot connect you to the database at this time.);
}

and make sure this is done before any other output.

Figured out that I can set a variable in the or die part.

Code:
$connection = mysql_connect("$host", "$user", "$password") or die($error);
