Re: [PHP4BETA] How to handle Oracle Error Messsages?

I saw OCIError(), and I am checking the return values on my OCI* calls, but I think what is happening is that the oracle error text message gets sent to standard output (the web page) before the offending OCI call returns. My understanding of OCIError() is that it is used *after* an error has occured. By then it is too late, because the error message has already been sent to the page for the user to see. Am I missing something about how OCIError() works? Manuel Lemos wrote: > > Hello David, > > On 01-Mar-00 14:34:18, you wrote: > > >I am using the oci* interfaces of php to access Oracle.
