mysql_errno

(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

mysql_errno --  Returns the numerical value of the error message from previous MySQL operation

Description

int mysql_errno ( [resource link_identifier])

Returns the error number from the last MySQL function, or 0 (zero) if no error occurred.

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

Example 1. mysql_errno Example

<?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";
?>

The above example would produce the following output: 

1049: Unknown database 'nonexistentdb'
1146: Table 'kossu.nonexistenttable' doesn't exist
