Get error message associated with result pg_result_error_field pg_result_seek PostgreSQL Functions PHP Manual pg_result_error (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)pg_result_error — Get error message associated with result Description string pg_result_error ( resource $result ) pg_result_error() returns any error message associated with the result resource. Therefore, the user has a better chance of getting the correct error message than with pg_last_error(). The function pg_result_error_field() can give much greater detail on result errors than pg_result_error(). Because pg_query() returns FALSE if the query fails, you must use pg_send_query() and pg_get_result() to get the result handle. Parameters result PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute() (among others). Return Values Returns a string if there is an error associated with the result parameter, FALSE otherwise. Examples Example #1 pg_result_error() example <?php $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect"); if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) { pg_send_query($dbconn, "select * from doesnotexist;"); } $res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn); echo pg_result_error($res1);?> See Also pg_result_error_field() pg_query() pg_send_query() pg_get_result() pg_last_error() pg_last_notice() pg_result_error_field pg_result_seek PostgreSQL Functions PHP Manual
