I am making a 3d airplane fighting game and I want to make the camera view rotate on its Z axis. This is what I'm doing.

rotate camera 0,camera angle x(0)+mousemovey(),camera angle y(0)+mousemovex(),camera angle z(0)+mousemovex()

Shouldn't this make the camera rotate to the side whenever the user moves the mouse left or right?

when you use mousemove to rotate if it gets over 360 it messes up.so you may have to add another command.

I think it will also make the camera tilt up when turning right, and down when turning left. You need to leave the camera's z axis alone.

It's all to do with the order things get processed.

Check out the EZRotate plug-in in the Program Announcements. It will calculate the rotations in the way that you expect.
