documented*/

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
Since mysql_error() is documented to 'return' a string, I assumed it
would be safe to put it in either a string, or as an argument to an
error handling function.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function fn_Save_Error ($x_page_url, $x_error) {
if (strlen($x_page_url) && strlen($x_error)) {
//output if debugging is on
echo ("Error on page: " . $x_page_url . " -> " . $x_error);
//save to db
}
}
$strSQL = "select all from something will make an error duh";
$objResult = mysql_query ($strSQL) or die (fn_Save_Error('this.php',
mysql_error());
Expected result:
----------------
Expected result is that the string value of mysql_error() is passed as
an argument of datatype string whether blank or with contents to the
fn_Save_Error function.
Actual result:
--------------
Mysql_error() is output directly to the screen/console, instead of
being passed as a value to fn_Save_Error for custom error handling.
Based on the mysql_error() documentation it should not output the error
to screen, it should return it as a string, so that I could do this:
...some wrong query execution...
$error_message = mysql_error(); echo ($error_message);
$error_message should be == to $mysql_error, but instead it just
outputs to screen/console
