mysql_error

mysql_error -- Returns the text of the error message from previous MySQL operation

Description

string mysql_error (int [ link_identifier ] );

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>"; ?>
