Can mysql_error() in PHP continuously return the same error message until a different MySQL error occurs?

Yes, `mysql_error()` in PHP will continuously return the same error message until a different MySQL error occurs. To prevent this, you can clear the error message after retrieving it by calling `mysql_error()`. 

// Execute query
$result = mysql_query($query);

// Check for errors
if (!$result) {
    // Get and display the error message
    $error = mysql_error();
    echo $error;
    
    // Clear the error message
    mysql_query("SELECT 1");
}
