Display server error

Is there a way, using PHP, to detect and display an error from a MySQL
server? Can I, by using error numbers or some similar method, create my own
error messages?

Sure, you can suppress the error message by preprending an at sign "@" to
the mysql_* function call and get the error code from the string returned by
the mysql_error() function.

Afterwhich, you can use the list of error codes from the MySQL website to
map the error code to whatever you like.

That should be: the mysql_errno() function.

You can get the MySQL error number with mysql_errno() and the text with
mysql_error(). Then just display whatever text you wish.
