pg_last_error — Get the last error message string of a connection
$connection
] ) : string
pg_last_error() returns the last error message
for a given connection.
Error messages may be overwritten by internal PostgreSQL (libpq) function calls. It may not return an appropriate error message if multiple errors occur inside a PostgreSQL module function.
Use pg_result_error(), pg_result_error_field(), pg_result_status() and pg_connection_status() for better error handling.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_errormessage().
connection
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connection is not present, the default connection
is used. The default connection is the last connection made by
pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
A string containing the last error message on the
given connection, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 pg_last_error() example
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
// Query that fails
$res = pg_query($dbconn, "select * from doesnotexist");
echo pg_last_error($dbconn);
?>
