Undefined property: PDO::$connect_error

Question

I am trying to use $dbc->connect_error to check if any error occurs while trying to connect to my databease. I always get an error page saying:

Answer 1

There is no connect_error. You should use exception:

try {
    $dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

Or if you do not want exception you can try errorCode and errorInfo
