How do I get the last mysql query that was executed

[jezzer300]

In brief, I want to find out the last SQL statement that was executed (when there's an error) and log it.

I get the last error in with with mysql_error, is there a similar command for the last query?

Regards,

Jez.

Are you talking about PHP? There is no function that returns the last query, but what you can do is store the query in a variable, and conditionally test to see if the query went through successfully. If it did not, then produce an error and log it.

$query = "INSERT INTO tablename (col1, col2) VALUES ('moo','fish')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result) {
echo 'An error has occured!";
//log error with $query
exit()
}

I hope this helps! :)
