Description

string pg_last_error ( [resource connection] )

Note: This function used to be called pg_errormessage().

Parameters

connection: PostgreSQL database connection resource. When connection is not present, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().

Return Values

A string containing the last error message on the given connection, or FALSE on error.
