PHP PDO: Displaying errors

Question

Do I need to use the try and catch block to display errors with PHP\'s PDO extension?

For example, with mysql you can usally do something like:

if ( ! $q         


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to use a try catch statement, you still can use this kind of code :

$query = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM table");
if(!$query->execute()) {
   print_r($query->errorInfo());
}
