    <para>
     Errors coming back from the MySQL database backend no longer
     issue warnings. Instead, use <function>mysql_errno</function> to
     retrieve the error code. Note that this function only returns the
     error code from the most recently executed MySQL function (not
     including <function>mysql_error</function> and
     <function>mysql_errno</function>), so if you want to use it,
      make sure you check the value before calling another MySQL
      function.
     <example>

      <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");

if (!mysql_select_db("nonexistentdb", $link)) {
    echo mysql_errno($link) . ": " . mysql_error($link). "\n";
}

mysql_select_db("kossu", $link);
if (!mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nonexistenttable", $link)) {
    echo mysql_errno($link) . ": " . mysql_error($link) . "\n";
}
?>
]]>
      </programlisting>
      <para>
       The above example would produce the following output:
      </para>
       <screen>
<![CDATA[
1049: Unknown database 'nonexistentdb'
1146: Table 'kossu.nonexistenttable' doesn't exist
]]>

     </example>
    </para>
    <note>
     <para>
      If the optional argument is specified the given link
      is used to retrieve the error code. If not, the last
      opened link is used.
