If you are simply wanting to do a check on whether the insert was successful
or not, then grab the id form the insert and check to see if it is there...
$success = mysql_insert_id();
If(!$success){
echo "no joy.. Insert failed.";
}
Because mysql_insert_id() acts on the last performed query, be sure to call
mysql_insert_id() immediately after the query that generates the value.
