[FX.php List] "site down for maintenance" include?

[Andy Gaunt]

Joel,

If you are wanting this for when you perform maintenance you could just
include a variable in your include that If true redirects to a "maintenance"
page.

This would be the first item on all pages (so no matter how the visitor
arrived it would look for the flag).

Subject: [FX.php List] "site down for maintenance" include?

Hi all

Has anybody implemented a procedure to automatically alert users when  
a site is down due to the FM files being closed on FMSA?

I'm thinking an include on every page that could check if the DB is  
available, and if not, present a friendly message to site-visitors  
and then a php exit;

Would this work?  Is there a specific FX error to easily check for?

This would be for when the DB needs to be closed for updating, etc.

Thanks,
-Joel
