True way to see if action was successful?

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

If this is a good way to see if action was successful to continue:

Code: function changeGameState($GameId)
{
mysql_query("UPDATE challenges SET status=status+1 WHERE id='$GameId'");
}

if (changeGameState($someId))
{
//was successful
}
I dont know if it work or not, but i think no because changeGameState wont return any value, so I came up with another idea, but it gives me "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN " error in "return 0" line

Code: public function changeGameState($GameId)
{
mysql_query("UPDATE challenges SET status=status+1 WHERE id='$GameId'")or die(return false);
return true;
}
how can i check if action was succesful before continuing?
