mysql error()

Why does it cause an error?

Why is it that if you have:

$x = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("......") or die(mysql_error()));

more than once, it causes an error?

Because it is not correct syntax. You are better off splitting everything up as it makes it easier to read and debug:

$result = mysql_query("......") or die(mysql_error());
$x = mysql_fetch_row($result); 

If you want to keep it the way you have it, it should look more like this:

$x = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("......")) or die(mysql_error());

Ok, have you ever had an issue of having too many "or die" statements that caused errors when there weren't any?

No I haven't. If they are used correctly, they shouldn't behave abnormally.
