Re: MDB2 help needed

Hi Yves, As the error object should be an PEAR_Error object then the function $result->getUserInfo() should give you the information you need. An example being: $record_sql = "SELECT * FROM non_existent_table"; $record_result =& $mdb2->query($record_sql); if (PEAR::isError($record_result)) { print_r($record_result->getUserInfo()); } returns: _doQuery: [Error message: Could not execute statement] [Last executed query: SELECT * FROM non_existent_table] [Native code: 1146] [Native message: Table 'database.non_existent_table' doesn't exist] Regards James YVES SUCAET wrote:

Thanks for trying to help, but that's what I'm doing already. I already know if something's wrong. But instead of a MySQL error reference I'm only getting "MDB2 Error: syntax error" in return from the getMessage() function. I want to obtain more info regarding the error (such as foreign key constraint incompatilibities). Obviously I can copy the query subsequently to SQLyog or another tool, but that takes more time.

To get the specific error you can use the MDB2 method getMessage() ($db->getMessage()). Hope this help, Laura

Hello, What's the equivalent of mysql_error() and mysql_errno() in MDB2? When I'm sending an incorrect SQL-statement to the server and it fails, all I'm getting is "MDB2 Error: syntax error". Thanks in advance, Yves Sucaet Iowa State University
