I think it is meant to be something like yp_err_string -- Returns the error string associated with the given error code Description string yp_err_string (int errorCode) because yp_err_string(yp_errno()) just works fine. Best regards Niklas Reproduce code: --------------- $yp = @yp_match("nomap", "norDomain"); if (!$yp) { echo "Error: " . yp_err_string(); } Expected result: ---------------- printout: Error: Can't bind to server which serves this domain Actual result: -------------- printout: Warning: Wrong parameter count for yp_err_string() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24321&edit=1
