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

At one point you said that I needed to be sure that ORACLE_HOME was set to be able to get the text of the error messages. How do I get the text other than via $php_errormsg? I did see a comment in the php manual with the user contributed messages that stated that OCIError() really returns an array with a number as the first element and string as the second, but that is not working for me (I am running the php4, Beta 3). I get a parse error when I try that. And why is it complaining when I pass a valid connection handle (returned by OCILogon())? Isn't that what "conn" stands for in the documentation? Thanks for all your help. I do have some perl programming experience, but I still am not guessing the right answers yet!
