Description:
------------
On the manual page for mysql_query(), it would probably be helpful for some users if you updated the following sentence:

<<<For other type of SQL statements, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, mysql_query() returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.>>>

To include "INSERT" in the list. INSERT is one of the most common queries not producing a result set (i.e. simply returning TRUE or FALSE), and this would make things clearer to newer users wondering about the return value of mysql_query() called with such a statement.

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a, see above

Expected result:
----------------
n/a, see above

Actual result:
--------------
n/a, see above

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
