Update failed with NO mysql_error

[Jean-Pierre Falet]

Hello,

I am in huge confusion. I have a db set with the contents of each page. When the user changes the content through a form, it passes through a process page which takes the new content (from the textareas), cleans it up, preps it with mysql_real_escape_string, and then updates the db content which relates to the specific page. Now, weirdly, when nothing is changed in the textareas and the db is updated, the update somewhat fails (mysql_affected_rows returns 0). If i check for a mysql_error, there is none. Why?

Thank you.

EDIT: Wait a minute....does that signify that when you do an update when you didn't change the content, it returns that 0 rows were affected?
