How to handle PHP database errors and generate corresponding error prompts

Foreword:
In PHP Web development, database operations are a very common task. However, it is inevitable that you will encounter some errors and exceptions during database operations, such as database connection failure, SQL statement errors, etc. In order to enable users to get timely feedback when encountering problems and to help developers better debug and fix problems, we need to handle database errors appropriately and generate corresponding error prompts.

1. PHP's error handling mechanism
PHP provides a powerful error handling mechanism. We can capture and handle various errors through configuration and code writing. Among them, the most common one we use is the try-catch statement to catch and handle exceptions.

2. Capture database connection errors
In PHP, we can use the PDO extension library for database connection and operations. When an error occurs in the database connection, we can handle it by catching PDOException. The sample code is as follows:

try {
    $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", "username", "password");
    // 进行数据库操作...
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo "数据库连接失败：" . $e->getMessage();
}

In the above code, if the database connection fails, a PDOException will be thrown. We use the try-catch statement to catch the exception, and then use the getMessage() method to obtain the detailed information of the exception and output it to the user.

3. Capture SQL statement errors
When we execute a SQL statement, if there is an error in the statement itself, the database will return an error code and error message. We can use the errorInfo() method of the PDO object to obtain the error information and handle it accordingly. The sample code is as follows:

try {
    $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", "username", "password");
    
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)");
    $stmt->execute(["admin", "123456"]);
    
    if ($stmt->errorCode() !== "00000") {
        $errorInfo = $stmt->errorInfo();
        echo "SQL语句执行错误：" . $errorInfo[2];
    }
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo "数据库连接失败：" . $e->getMessage();
}

In the above code, we first execute a SQL statement to insert data, and then determine whether the SQL statement is executed successfully by calling the errorCode() method of the stmt object. If the error code returned by the errorCode() method is not "00000", it means that a statement execution error has occurred. We can obtain detailed error information by calling the errorInfo() method of the stmt object and output it to the user.

4. Custom error handling function
In addition to using try-catch statements to capture exceptions and errors, we can also use custom error handling functions to uniformly handle various types of errors. By using the set_error_handler() function and related error handling functions, we can define our own error handling.

The sample code is as follows:

function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
    echo "发生错误：" . $errstr;
    // 可以记录错误日志或做其它处理...
}

set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");

// 进行数据库操作...

In the above code, we define an error handling function named customErrorHandler() and register it as an error in PHP through the set_error_handler() function processing function. When an error occurs, PHP will automatically call this function and pass error-related information as parameters to the function. In this function, we can perform corresponding processing according to the error type, error message, etc., and output it to the user.

Summary:
In PHP Web development, handling database errors is a very important task. By capturing and processing database connection errors and SQL statement errors, we can promptly feedback error information to users and help developers better debug and fix problems. At the same time, through custom error handling functions, we can also implement more flexible and personalized error handling methods.
