help with mysql_error()

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I am trying to insert data into a table, but I am not able to insert it. I wanted to see what the error was using mysql_error() function, but it does not return any error string for me. I have pasted the code below. Any ideas where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

global $error;
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','');
if($link) {
$dbName = 'movieStore';
if(mysqli_select_db($link, $dbName)) {
$query = "INSERT INTO Movie(movieName,movieID, movieDescription) VALUES ('$movieName', '$movieID', '$movieDescription')";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query);
if($result) {
$error = "Movie: $movieName successfully created";
}
else {
$error = "Error in your SQL: $query";
echo mysql_error();

}
}
else {
$error = "Unable to connect to $dbName";
}
}
}
echo $error;

It echoes that "Error in your SQL:INSERT INTO Movie(movieName,movieID, movieDescription) VALUES ('gg', '1', '') "

However, it does not print our what the error was while inserting.

Thanks a lot for looking into this
