Hi!
I'm fairly new to php and mysql but happily learning this.

In my latest project I want to store a error message(mysql_error) into a variable for further processing with a if-statement.

I tried a simple;
Ok, this doesnt do anything, just wanted to check if the variable worked.

what do want to entend? you want and error handling?
or declaring variable?

try visit this-->http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_variables.asp

i hope this can help;))

Well...what I want is that when I get a certain error message somethig will happen.

when storing data in a database, and that item already exists, I want to pop a question asking if it should be updated or what. So yes, kind of a error handling.

Sadly w3schools didnt help on that specific subject, but thanks anyway! :)

<?php
$sql = "error";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
?>

I want to store the mysql_error() into a variable, not create a sql error.
