Ok, loop through your queries, then you and IF check to see if the query was successful (queries return TRUE if are successful, else FALSE). Something like the below (pseudo).

$badQueries = array();
 
foreach($queries as $x => $query)
{
    if ( ! $query )
    {
        // query didn't work :(
        $badQueries[] "$x didn't execute - " . mysql_error();
    }
}

i have a csv file which i need to upload in database using insert statement.

now the thing is that if by chance there is any problem in any insert statement , it gives me error message and stops the whole process.

i don't want to stop the whole process . i want that it should continue and should stop at the eof telling me how many queries were successfull and how many were not.

Is it possible ?

My first post in this thread explains an easy way to do it.

Shalini,

What you have made so far?

Actually my requirement was to insert data from one csv file to a database and after printing i wanted my script to print how many inserted , how many were duplicate hence skiped and how many were containing some empty fields hence skiped.

I was stucking at the point where due to some reason insert statement get error and stops the whole uploading,

I wanted to do exception handling for that

But now i have taken this in consideration that my data should not contain any special character , mainly "." or " ' " or ' " ' so that insert statement shouldn't stop . And done it for the time being .....

Now its checking empty fields and duplicate which are not entered in database and counting for empty , duplicate and insert data and printing it .....

But still i want to learn exception handling for it ... any good tutorial site you suggest ....

Exception handling: google is your friend.

To escape any harmful characters in your query, use mysql_real_escape_string() on your string.
