Note mysqli_errorPDO::errorInfo
Description
mysql_error(resource $link_identifier = NULL): string
Returns the error text from the last MySQL function. Errors coming back from the MySQL database backend no longer issue warnings. Instead, use mysql_error() to retrieve the error text. Note that this function only returns the error text from the most recently executed MySQL function (not including mysql_error() and mysql_errno()), so if you want to use it, make sure you check the value before calling another MySQL function.
Parameters
Return Values
Returns the error text from the last MySQL function, or '' (empty string) if no error occurred.
