Something like...
$dbh = mysql_connect ("foo", "bar", "baz")
or die (mysql_error ());
has always worked well for me. When it comes to queries I generally tack the
SQL on the end of the error, like this:
$q = mysql_query ($sql, $dbh)
or die (mysql_error (). "<br><b>". $sql. "</b>");
Obviously it's a good idea to turn this error reporting off on a production
site, otherwise you risk exposing details of your database structure.
