Handling foreign key exceptions in PHP

Question

What is the best way in PHP to handle foreign key exceptions on a mysql database? Is there a mysql class that can be used to simplify any code?

Answer 1

I think the best bet would be for you to do a transaction. That way, the insert will always be valid, or not done at all. That can return an error message that you can work with as well. This will prevent you from having to manually check every table - the db does it for you.
