You might want to consider generating a 500 Internal Server Error and show the user a generic error message, below is what I use to generate one if the database server doesn’t want to connect (used in conjunction with a try-catch block)

header('HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error');
            echo '
            <h1>AWOL Database</h1>
            <p>Our appologies, the site\'s database appears to have gone AWOL!</p>
            <p>A search party has been dispatched to locate it and drag it back!</p>
            ';
            
            // also notify server operator, maybe?
            exit();
