I hope you picked this function name to fuel the "PHP is so inconsistent" lovers. Could I suggest picking something a little less a) different from everything else, and b) different from *everything* else? The following is a quick tally of error functions that return error message strings and reference "last" or "previous" in their documented "purpose". *_error_msg (1) *_errcode (1) *_errormsg (4) *_error (17) *_last_error (2) *_get_error (2) *_get_error_message (7) Added to this, is a whole new choice; your *_last_error_msg. The behaviour might be consistent (having a separate error-string-returning function) but the name isn't at all.
