# PDO->errorInfo()

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

PDO->errorInfo() -- Fetch extended error information associated with the last operation on the database handle

## Description

class PDO {
array errorInfo ( void )
}

## Return Values

PDO->errorInfo() returns an array of error information about the last operation performed by this database handle. The array consists of the following fields:

Element | Information
--- | ---
0 | SQLSTATE error code (a five-character alphanumeric identifier defined in the ANSI SQL standard).
1 | Driver-specific error code.
2 | Driver-specific error message.

PDO->errorInfo() only retrieves error information for operations performed directly on the database handle. If you create a PDOStatement object through PDO->prepare() or PDO->query() and invoke an error on the statement handle, PDO->errorInfo() will not reflect the error from the statement handle. You must call PDOStatement->errorInfo() to return the error information for an operation performed on a particular statement handle.

## Examples

Example 1. Displaying errorInfo() fields for a PDO_ODBC connection to a DB2 database

`<?php /* Provoke an error -- bogus SQL syntax */ $stmt = $dbh->prepare('bogus sql'); if (!$stmt) { echo "\nPDO::errorInfo():\n"; print_r($dbh->errorInfo()); } ?>`

The above example will output:

    PDO::errorInfo():
    Array
    (
        [0] => HY000
        [1] => 1
        [2] => near "bogus": syntax error
    )
