Unwanted MySQLi connection error message (PHP)

Question

When I'm connecting to MySQL using the mysqli class constructor I get an echoed error message from PHP when I don't provide the correct connection details. However, there is an appropriate way to deal with errors, like connect_errno and connect_error, but PHP always seems to echo the fact that a connection was unsuccessful whereas I want to deal with any errors manually.

Answer 1

ini_set('display_errors', FALSE);
