mysql_error — Liefert den Fehlertext der zuvor ausgeführten MySQL-Operation
Diese Erweiterung ist seit PHP 5.5.0 als veraltet markiert und wurde in PHP 7.0.0 entfernt. Verwenden Sie stattdessen die Erweiterungen MySQLi oder PDO_MySQL. Weitere Informationen bietet der Ratgeber MySQL: Auswahl einer API. Alternativen zu dieser Funktion umfassen:
Gibt den Fehlertext der letzten MySQL-Funktion zurück. Fehler, die vom MySQL-Server kommen, geben keine Warnungen mehr aus. Verwenden Sie stattdessen die Funktion mysql_error(), um den Fehlertext zu erhalten. Beachten Sie, dass diese Funktion nur den Fehlertext der zuletzt ausgeführten MySQL-Funktion (ohne die Funktionen mysql_error() und mysql_errno()) zurückgibt. Wenn Sie diese Funktion also verwenden wollen, stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie den Wert überprüfen, bevor Sie eine andere MySQL-Funktion aufrufen.
link_identifierDie MySQL-Verbindung.
Wird die Verbindungskennung nicht angegeben, wird die letzte durch
mysql_connect() geöffnete Verbindung angenommen. Falls
keine solche Verbindung gefunden wird, wird versucht, eine Verbindung
aufzubauen, wie es beim Aufruf von mysql_connect() ohne
Angabe von Argumenten der Fall wäre. Falls zufällig keine Verbindung gefunden
oder aufgebaut werden kann, wird eine Warnung der Stufe
E_WARNING erzeugt.
Gibt den Fehlertext der letzten MySQL-Funktion zurück oder
'' (eine leere Zeichenkette), falls kein Fehler
aufgetreten ist.
Beispiel #1 mysql_error()-Beispiel
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
mysql_select_db("nicht_vorhandene_datenbank", $link);
echo mysql_errno($link) . ": " . mysql_error($link). "\n";
mysql_select_db("kossu", $link);
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nicht_vorhandene_tabelle", $link);
echo mysql_errno($link) . ": " . mysql_error($link) . "\n";
?>Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
1049: Unknown database 'nicht_vorhandene_datenbank' 1146: Table 'kossu.nicht_vorhandene_tabelle' doesn't exist
If you want to display errors like "Access denied...", when mysql_error() returns "" and mysql_errno() returns 0, use $php_errormsg. This Warning will be stored there. You need to have track_errors set to true in your php.ini.
Note. There is a bug in either documentation about error_reporting() or in mysql_error() function cause manual for mysql_error(), says: "Errors coming back from the MySQL database backend no longer issue warnings." Which is not true.When creating large applications it's quite handy to create a custom function for handling queries. Just include this function in every script. And use db_query(in this example) instead of mysql_query.
This example prompts an error in debugmode (variable $b_debugmode ). An e-mail with the error will be sent to the site operator otherwise.
The script writes a log file in directory ( in this case /log ) as well.
The system is vulnerable when database/query information is prompted to visitors. So be sure to hide this information for visitors anytime.

?>Be aware that if you are using multiple MySQL connections you MUST support the link identifier to the mysql_error() function. Otherwise your error message will be blank.
Just spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out why i didn't see my SQL errors.Using a manipulation of josh ><>'s function, I created the following. It's purpose is to use the DB to store errors. It handles both original query, as well as the error log. Included Larry Ullman's escape_data() as well since I use it in q().
<?php
function escape_data($data){
global $dbc;
if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')){
$data=stripslashes($data);
}
return mysql_real_escape_string(trim($data),$dbc);
}
function q($page,$query){
// $page
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_errno()) {
$error = "MySQL error ".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."\n<br>When executing:<br>\n$query\n<br>";
$log = mysql_query("INSERT INTO db_errors (error_page,error_text) VALUES ('$page','".escape_data($error)."')");
}
}
// Run the query using q()
$query = "INSERT INTO names (first, last) VALUES ('myfirst', 'mylast'");
$result = q("Sample Page Title",$query);
?>When dealing with user input, make sure that you use
<?php
echo htmlspecialchars (mysql_error ());
?>
instead of
<?php
echo mysql_error ();
?>
Otherwise it might be possible to crack into your system by submitting data that causes the SQL query to fail and that also contains javascript commands.
Would it make sense to change the examples in the documentation for mysql_query () and for mysql_error () accordingly?some error can't handle. Example:
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: 'ituser@mail.ramon.intranet' to database 'itcom'
This error ocurrs when a intent of a sql insert of no authorized user. The results: mysql_errno = 0 and the mysql_error = "" .My suggested implementation of mysql_error():
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("<b>A fatal MySQL error occured</b>.\n<br />Query: " . $query . "<br />\nError: (" . mysql_errno() . ") " . mysql_error());
This will print out something like...
A fatal MySQL error occured.
Query: SELECT * FROM table
Error: (err_no) Bla bla bla, you did everything wrong
It's very useful to see your query in order to detect problems with syntax. Most often, the output message from MySQL doesn't let you see enough of the query in the error message to let you see where your query went bad- it a missing quote, comma, or ( or ) could have occured well before the error was detected. I do -not- recomend using this procedure, however, for queries which execute on your site that are not user-specific as it has the potential to leak sensative data. Recomended use is just for debugging/building a script, and for general user-specific queries which would at the worst, leak the users own information to themself.
Good luck,

-ScottOops, the code in my previous post only works for queries that don't return data (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.), this updated function should work for all types of queries (using $result = myquery($query);):
function myquery ($query) {
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_errno())
echo "MySQL error ".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."\n<br>When executing:<br>\n$query\n<br>";
return $result;
}A friend of mine proposed a great solution.
<?php
$old_track = ini_set('track_errors', '1');
.....
if ($this->db_handle!=FALSE && $db_selection_status!=FALSE)
{
$this->connected=1;
ini_set('track_errors', $old_track);
}
else
{
$this->connected=-1;
$mysql_warning=$php_errormsg;
ini_set('track_errors', $old_track);
throw new mysql_cns_exception(1, $mysql_warning . " " . mysql_error());
}
?>"Errors coming back from the MySQL database backend no longer issue warnings." Please note, you have an error/bug here. In fact, MySQL 5.1 with PHP 5.2:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'locallllllhost' (11001)
That's a warning, which is not trapped by mysql_error()!This is a big one - As of MySQL 4.1 and above, apparently, the way passwords are hashed has changed. PHP 4.x is not compatible with this change, though PHP 5.0 is. I'm still using the 4.x series for various compatibility reasons, so when I set up MySQL 5.0.x on IIS 6.0 running PHP 4.4.4 I was surpised to get this error from mysql_error():
MYSQL: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
According to the MySQL site (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html) the best fix for this is to use the OLD_PASSWORD() function for your mysql DB user. You can reset it by issuing to MySQL:
Set PASSWORD for 'user'@'host' = OLD_PASSWORD('password');
This saved my hide.Following are error codes that may appear when you call MySQL from any host language:
