Yes it will definitely help if you write up something to cut and paste. Thanks for contributing, Goba. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-07 05:50:42] cjbj at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ This is similar to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9510, which was closed two years ago saying the docs need to be updated. However the docs have still not been updated. Also there are no real useful user-supplied notes in the manual entry despite them being referred to in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=8993 How do we get the OCIError documentation updated? Will it help if I write something to cut-and-paste? Re-description of the problem: The OCIError documentation http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ocierror.php says that if no parameter is given, then the most recent error is displayed: "If the optional stmt|conn|global is not provided, the last error encountered is returned" I am not seeing this with OCIParse or OCIExecute. I am seeing OCIError return false. This is consistent with the comment in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9510 : "the documentation needs to be updated - ocierror always stores the error in the most appropiate (parent-)handle. " Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // Display OCI error function PrintOCIError($t, $err) { echo "<pre>$t: ".$err['message']."</pre>\n"; } echo "<p>Connecting . . . </p>"; $con = @OCILogon("scott", "tiger", "T920"); if (!$con) { PrintOCIError(@OCIError()); } // Deliberate syntax error: missing a single quote $stid = @OCIParse($con, "select 'x from dual"); if (!$stid) { $e = OCIError(); PrintOCIError("First error ", $e); // The correct error is displayed when $con is passed to OCIError $e = OCIError($con); PrintOCIError("Second error ", $e); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- According to the documentation the testcase should give: Connecting . . . First error : ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated Second error : ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated Actual result: -------------- The testcase gives: Connecting . . . First error : Second error : ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25773&edit=1
