Обсуждение: Table or not table ?

Hello

I wanted to be sure that a table exist before
making a request such as "select * from $table"
because it display something like 

Warning: PostgresSQL query failed: 
ERROR: prout: Table does not exist. in
/www/dooz.corp.intrinsec.com/tableau.php3 on line 15

Does anyone know what i could do to verify that
the table exist, or help to disable error messages
on web pages ?

Bye
