pg_errormessage

(PHP3 , PHP4 )

pg_errormessage -- Get the error message string

Description

string pg_errormessage (int connection)

Returns a string containing the error message, false on failure. Details about the error probably cannot be retrieved using the pg_errormessage() function if an error occured on the last database action for which a valid connection exists, this function will return a string containing the error message generated by the backend server.

I would add that this function is useful particularly when used in combination with the "@" prefix, that turns off php's usual error reporting. Otherways, the user will see the error message without need of this functions (and without the fancy formatting that one could provide with a clever use of this function ;-D). Moreover, the text of this entry is not quite clear (maybe is a problem of language? I'm not a natural english-speaker too) but I may guess it means that this function won't work if the error has cause the connection to the DB to be closed.

The most common example of an invalid connection is when pg_connect fails, and then pg_errormessage has nothing in it.
