Another option is this:
mysql_query() will return false if an error occurs, so if you put your
execute statement in an if statement as following you can get a
boolean success/failure response:
if(mysql_query()){
return "Yay! Success";
}else{
return "Failure";
}

Additionally, mysql_error() can tell you what went wrong.
