Hi I have a script to log people into my site and within the script is this method (I have changed the values)
$con=mysql_connect("mydbdomain", "mydbusername", "mypassword");
Now I downloaded a open source file upload program and uploaded it to my server and only allow users who are in the database to use it. It all works great. I however then go and edit the php code which handles the file uploads so that every time a user uploads a file it goes into a directory that matches their username.

class UploadHandler
{

function foo() { ... }
}
?>
The function above named foo is where i connect to the db and extract the value of the future directory. But whenever i have this line.
$con=mysql_connect("mydbdomain", "mydbusername", "mypassword");
instead of
$con=@mysql_connect("mydbdomain", "mydbusername", "mypassword");
nothing works. why is it when i use @ and suppress errors it all works? Why are there errors? The files are uploaded into the usernames directory perfectly only when using @. I just want to understand what is happening. I dont understand how there can be an error because i use the line
$con=mysql_connect("mydbdomain", "mydbusername", "mypassword");
in other files and it always works.
mysql_connect is deprecated and shouldn't be used. Probably your provider have E_DEPRECATED error level and you get warning whenever you use mysql_connect.
Try using PDO
