mysql_error

mysql_error -- returns error message of last mysql call

Description

string mysql_error();

Errors coming back from the mySQL database backend no longer issue warnings. Instead, use these functions to retrieve the error string.

<?php
mysql_connect("marliesle");
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>";
mysql_select_db("nonexistentdb");
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>";
$conn = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nonexistenttable");
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>";
?>
