mysql_error parameters ?

Hi. I am unable to find a solution for the following:

Language: PHP
$results = mysql_query($update)
        or die(mysql_error());

I know the error will display if there is any, but I want to pass my own custom string value as a parameter in the mysql_error() function so if a error occurs I will have my own custom string value + MySQL generated error message.

I want to be more descriptive in what exactly went wrong for debugging.

How do you pass that string value parameter ?

Try

Language: PHP
or die("put some message in here" .mysql_error())

Hi!

That makes sense to concatenate the string with the mysql_error() function.

Will give it a go. Thank you.
