#45342 [NEW]: helpful to list INSERT as a mysql_query() type not returning result set

From: sdewey at post dot harvard dot edu Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: helpful to list INSERT as a mysql_query() type not returning result set Description: ------------ On the manual page for mysql_query(), it would probably be helpful for some users if you updated the following sentence: <<<For other type of SQL statements, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, mysql_query() returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.>>> To include "INSERT" in the list. INSERT is one of the most common queries not producing a result set (i.e. simply returning TRUE or FALSE), and this would make things clearer to newer users wondering about the return value of mysql_query() called with such a statement.
