string$sqlstate;

Returns a string containing the SQLSTATE error code for the most recently invoked prepared statement function that can succeed or fail. The error code consists of five characters. '00000' means no error. The values are specified by ANSI SQL and ODBC. For a list of possible values, see » http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/error-handling.html.

### Parameters

`stmt`

  Procedural style only: A statement identifier returned by mysqli_stmt_init().

### Return Values

Returns a string containing the SQLSTATE error code for the last error. The error code consists of five characters. '00000' means no error.

### Notes

> Note: Note that not all MySQL errors are yet mapped to SQLSTATE's. The value HY000 (general error) is used for unmapped errors.

### Examples

Example#1 Object oriented style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE myCountry LIKE Country");
$mysqli->query("INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country");
$query = "SELECT Name, Code FROM myCountry ORDER BY Name";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {
/* drop table */
$mysqli->query("DROP TABLE myCountry");
/* execute query */
$stmt->execute();
printf("Error: %s.\n", $stmt->sqlstate);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>`

Example#2 Procedural style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE myCountry LIKE Country");
mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country");
$query = "SELECT Name, Code FROM myCountry ORDER BY Name";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
/* drop table */
mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE myCountry");
/* execute query */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
printf("Error: %s.\n", mysqli_stmt_sqlstate($stmt));
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>`

The above example will output:

    Error: 42S02.
