    return "DUPLICATE";
}
return true;

}

However, at the moment if there is a duplicate key then its not letting me get to the _error_number() bit. Its displaying an error like this:

How do I stop codeigniter from bailing with an error and passing the error number to me to deal with appropriately?

    You can access MySQL error messages in Codeigniter using:

    $this->db->_error_message();

    Apparently DB_DEBUG needs to be set to false in the database config file:

    Ensure DB_DEBUG is set to FALSE in the database config file, or
    execution will halt when a mysql error occurs (it does not get thrown,
    it justs exits from the php interpreter)
