PHP die redirect

I do not see any redirects in this code at all.  You may have a loop in your .htaccess file.

or die(header("Location: ./incomplete.php"));

Oh, sorry I missed that.  I have never seen anyone try to use the die() command that way.  Try something more like this for your DB connect and select.  It will give you helpful error messages if anything goes wrong.

If you want to redirect on a DB error, you might want to throw a meta-refresh tag into the browser output stream.  You can add a wait time to it, then you can see the error messages for a few moments before the screen is wiped away by the browser.

I don't want more errors displayed.  I want all die's redirected to one common page for continuity.

kkbenj, it seems, that you are using just one redirect. So check your apache configuration, if there are redirects allowed. It should be like this
<Directory "/path/to/my_app">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    allow from all
</Directory>

Your explanation makes sense.  I will alter what I was trying to your code.

Thanks!
