if you want to log the error etc you should use try/catch, if you dont; just put @ before mysql_query

edit : you can use try catch like this; so you can log the error and let the page continue to load

function throw_ex($er){  
  throw new Exception($er);  
}  
try {  
mysql_connect(localhost,'user','pass'); 
mysql_select_db('test'); 
$q = mysql_query('select * from asdasda') or throw_ex(mysql_error());  
}  
catch(exception $e) {
  echo "ex: ".$e; 
}

Elaborating on yasaluyari s answer I would stick with something like this   We can just modify our mysql query as follows   function mysql catchquery  query  emsg  Error submitting the query        if   result mysql query  query   return  result      else throw new Exception  emsg       Now we can simply use it like this  some good example   try       mysql catchquery  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE a  ID int 6          mysql catchquery  insert into a values 666   418   93         mysql catchquery  insert into b ID  name  select a ID  c name from a join c on a ID c ID         result mysql catchquery  select   from d where ID 7777777        while   tmp mysql fetch assoc  result             catch  Exception  e        echo  e- gt getMessage        Note how beautiful it is  Whenever any of the qq fails we gtfo with our errors  And you can also note that we don t need now to store the state of the writing queries into a  result variable for verification  because our function now handles it by itself  And the same way it handles the selects  it just assigns the result to a variable as does the normal function  yet handles the errors within itself   Also note  we don t need to show the actual errors since they bear huge security risk  especially so with this outdated extension  That is why our default will be just fine most of the time  Yet  if we do want to notify the user for some particular query error  we can always pass the second parameter to display our custom error message

Checking the documentation shows that its returns false on an error  So use the return status rather than or die    It will return false if it fails  which you can log  or whatever you want to do  and then continue    rv   mysql query  INSERT INTO redirects SET ua string     ua string     if    rv     false           handle the error here     page continues loading

You can implement throwing exceptions on mysql query fail on your own  What you need is to write a wrapper for mysql query function  e g       user defined  corresponding MySQL errno for duplicate key entry const MYSQL DUPLICATE KEY ENTRY   1022      user defined MySQL exceptions class MySQLException extends Exception    class MySQLDuplicateKeyException extends MySQLException     function my mysql query  query   conn false         res   mysql query  query   conn       if    res             errno   mysql errno  conn            error   mysql error  conn           switch   errno            case MYSQL DUPLICATE KEY ENTRY              throw new MySQLDuplicateKeyException  error   errno               break          default              throw MySQLException  error   errno               break                                    doing something                if   something is wrong            throw new Exception  Logic exception while performing query result processing              try       mysql query  INSERT INTO redirects SET ua string     ua string      catch  MySQLDuplicateKeyException  e           duplicate entry exception      e- gt getMessage      catch  MySQLException  e           other mysql exception  not duplicate key entry       e- gt getMessage      catch  Exception  e           not a MySQL exception      e- gt getMessage

Use any method described in the previous post to somehow catch the mysql error  Most common is    res   mysql query  bla    if   res   false        error   die        normal page   This would also work   function error         error   die      res   mysql query  bla   or error      normal page   try         catch  Exception  e           will not work   Note  Not directly related to you question but I think it would much more better if you display something usefull to the user  I would never revisit a website that just displays a blank screen or any mysterious error message
