mysqli_error

(PHP 5 CVS only)

mysqli_error -- Returns a string description of the last error

Description

string mysqli_error ( resource link)

The mysqli_error() function is identical to the corresponding mysqli_errno() function in every way, except instead of returning an integer error code the mysqli_error() function will return a string representation of the last error to occur for the database connection represented by the link parameter. If no error has occured, this function will return an empty string.

Example 1. Using the mysqli_error function

<?php
                                                                         
    /* Fail to open a connection */
    $host = "no_such_host";
    $link = mysqli_connect($host, "username", "password") or 
            die("Couldn't connect : " . mysqli_error());
                                                                                                          
?>
