check if query successful

[shangrilla]

Hi:

I want to show a message if my query was successful or not.

mysql_query("delete from table1 where name1 like '%' "

If you check here

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

you can see what mysql_query() returns. You can then test the return value to see if it was explicitly FALSE or not. The one gotcha can be avoided by use of the "===" operator. (

Alternatilvely parse the mysql_affected_rows() result to see how many were completed. ______________________________________________________________________
