#22033 [Opn->Bgs]: Kryptic errors when not using "portability" option in DB

ID: 22033 Updated by: lsmith@php.net Reported By: stamer at uni-oldenburg dot de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux & Oracle PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PEAR DB always returns error objects when errors occur. Please see the manual for details, specifically: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/core.db.iserror.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 10:34:49] stamer at uni-oldenburg dot de 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.
