How to display errors for my MySQLi query?

Just simply add or die(mysqli_error($db)); at the end of your query, this will print the mysqli error.

 mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO stockdetails (`itemdescription`,`itemnumber`,`sellerid`,`purchasedate`,`otherinfo`,`numberofitems`,`isitdelivered`,`price`) VALUES ('$itemdescription','$itemnumber','$sellerid','$purchasedate','$otherinfo','$numberofitems','$numberofitemsused','$isitdelivered','$price')") or die(mysqli_error($db));

As a side note I'd say you are at risk of mysql injection, check here How can I prevent SQL injection in PHP?. You should really use prepared statements to avoid any risk.

mysqli_error()

As in:

$sql = "Your SQL statement here";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql) or trigger_error("Query Failed! SQL: $sql - Error: ".mysqli_error($conn), E_USER_ERROR);

Trigger error is better than die because you can use it for development AND production, it's the permanent solution.
