PHP MySQL INSERT return value with one query execution

Question

Is there anything returned from MySQL/PHP on a INSERT query being executed? Here is my function which I have in a CLASS.

function mysqlQuery($query) {
   //          


        

Answer 1

From php.net http://us2.php.net/mysql_query

For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN and other statements returning resultset, mysql_query() returns a resource on success, or FALSE on error.

For other type of SQL statements, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, mysql_query() returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.
