Question

I have a connection to a data base and every time there is a problem connecting I get this error.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on '205.178.146.104' (4)' in /data/18/2/77/115/2566441/user/2813515/htdocs/ZendFramework-1.11.5/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php:129

The thing is that the database user and password are visible on the page in the error message. Is there a way that I can prevent PHP from showing that info? Or is this happening because I am set up a a developing instead of production?

Answer 1

It is because you are on “developing” (exceptions are shown in browser)

• Solution 1: Use Production Environment 😉
• Solution 2: Change settings in application.ini
• Solution 3: Use an try/catch block for database connect
