Still trying to get my head around pdo. I have an insert statement that is executed with pdo. insert works great however if there is an error I would like it displayed to the user. I have the below try catch block. <pre><code>try{ $insertuser = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO `she_she`.`Persons` (`idnumber`,`addedby`,`firstname`, `middlename`, `surname`, `fullname`, `gender`, `birthdate`, `homelanguage`, `department`, `employeetype`, `employeestatus`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)'); $insertuser->execute(array($idnumber,$user,$firstname, $middlename, $surname, $fullname, $gender, $birthdate, $language, $department, $employmenttype, $personstatus)); } catch(PDOException $exception){ return $exception; } </code></pre> If the query fails, or lets say a duplicate IDNumber, I want this displayed to the user. If I simply try echo the variable $exception it does not work. I want to return the mysql error to the user. Any advice appreciated as always. Thanks, Ryan UPDATE new code as per proposed answers: <pre><code> try{ $insertuser = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO `she_she`.`Persons` (`idnumber`,`addedby`,`firstname`, `middlename`, `surname`, `fullname`, `gender`, `birthdate`, `homelanguage`, `department`, `employeetype`, `employeestatus`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)'); $insertuser->execute(array($idnumber,$user,$firstname, $middlename, $surname, $fullname, $gender, $birthdate, $language, $department, $employmenttype, $personstatus)); } catch(PDOException $exception){ return $exception->getMessage(); } echo "exception: ".$exception; </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
