#22033 [NEW]: Kryptic errors when not using "portability" option in DB

From: stamer@uni-oldenburg.de Operating system: Linux & Oracle PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: PEAR related Bug description: Kryptic errors when not using "portability" option in DB Hi, This is not really a bug, but it may take to too much time to track the source of error. I am using Linux with Oracle9. If I use e.g. DB_Result::numRows() without option set to "portability" (didn't know about it, first...), I get really kryptic error messages, since an object is returned instead of an expected integer. This yields then "Unsupported operand types" if you try to subtract an integer, and one really does not know what is going on.
