oci_error

(PHP 5)

oci_error -- Returns the last error found

Description

array oci_error ( [resource source] )

For most errors, the parameter is the most appropriate resource handle. For connection errors with oci_connect(), oci_new_connect() or oci_pconnect(), do not pass a parameter. If no error is found, oci_error() returns FALSE. oci_error() returns the error as an associative array. In this array, code consists the oracle error code and message the oracle error string.

As of PHP 4.3: offset and sqltext will also be included in the return array to indicate the location of the error and the original SQL text which caused it.

Example 1. Displaying the Oracle error message after a connection error

$conn = @oci_connect("scott", "tiger", "mydb");
if (!$conn) {
  $e = oci_error();   // For oci_connect errors pass no handle
  echo htmlentities($e['message']);
}

Example 2. Displaying the Oracle error message after a parsing error

$stmt = @oci_parse($conn, "select ' from dual");  // note mismatched quote
if (!$stmt) {
  $e = oci_error($conn);  // For oci_parse errors pass the connection handle
  echo htmlentities($e['message']);
}

Example 3. Displaying the Oracle error message and problematic statement after an execution error

$r = oci_execute($stmt);
if (!$r) {
  $e = oci_error($stmt); // For oci_execute errors pass the statementhandle
  echo htmlentities($e['message']);
  echo "<pre>";
  echo htmlentities($e['sqltext']);
  printf("\n%".($e['offset']+1)."s", "^");
  echo "</pre>";
}

Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocierror() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_error() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
