<para>
Errors coming back from the MySQL database backend no longer
issue warnings. Instead, use <function>mysql_error</function> to
retrieve the error text. Note that this function only returns the
error text 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>
<title>mysql_errno Example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
mysql_select_db("nonexistentdb");
echo mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error(). "\n";
mysql_select_db("kossu");
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nonexistenttable");
echo mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "\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
Records deleted: 0
]]>
