Question

I have an INSERT wrapped in a try/catch, but a missing table is not getting caught and PHP is erroring out at ‘$dbh->prepare’.
I’ve set the ‘PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE’ and the value echoed to the browser just before the ‘$dbh->prepare’ is 2.

If the table exists, the INSERT works as I expected. I only discovered there was an issue while testing when I purposely dropped the table and ran the code.

What have I overlooked?

Thanks in advance

        $sth->execute();
        $our->db['submit_id'] = $dbh->lastInsertId();
    } catch (PDOExeption $e) {
        echo "There was an error!"; # try writing something to the browser temporarily
        errors("Error writing page load information to database: " . $e->getMessage());
        $our->db['save'] = FALSE;
    }
}

You misspelt PDOException; you have PDOExeption (note the missing c).
