   mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM employee");
   $list = mysqli_error_list($con);
   print_r($list);

   //Query to UPDATE the rows of the employee table
   mysqli_query($con, "UPDATE employee set INCOME=INCOME+5000 where FIRST_NAME in (*)");
   $list = mysqli_error_list($con);
   print_r($list);

   //Query to INSERT a row into the employee table
   mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO employee VALUES (Archana, 'Mohonthy', 30, 'M', 13000, 106)");
   $list = mysqli_error_list($con);
   print_r($list);

   //Closing the connection
   mysqli_close($con);
?>

This will produce following result −
