If you have track_errors = on you can use an approach along the lines of 
what's done in my SQL Solution class:

    $this->SQLConnection = @mysql_connect($this->SQLHost,
            $this->SQLUser, $this->SQLPassword) or die
            ( $this->KillQuery($FileName, $FileLine, $php_errormsg) );

Enjoy,
