Yep.  When mysql_query() fails, I check the value of mysql_errno().  Error 
numbers 1022 and 1062 have to do with duplicate keys on (if I recall 
correctly) primary keys and duplicate keys (or if I recall incorrectly, 
insert vs update queries).

switch ( @mysql_errno($Connection) ) {
    case 1022:
    case 1062:
        # Couldn't insert/update record due to duplicate key.
        break;

    default:
        # Some other database error.  Trap it.
        echo @mysql_error($this->SQLConnection);
        exit;
}

... snipping out old, irrelevant parts... the friendly way to post...
