Hi group, I am unsatisfied with the following situation and would like to ask your advice on how to handle this: all of my scripts use a central custom database connection class that handles Oracle connections & stored procedures; this works pretty good, but there's one major drawback of this approach: whenever an sql query fails, the error is reported by the OCI class with the line number of the $oci->execute() function, but this is not really helpful, I need the line from where my custom oci function was called. To give you an example: [CODE] function eoci_execute ($sql){ $cursor = oci_new_cursor ($this->dbh); $stmt = oci_parse ($this->dbh, $sql); oci_bind_by_name ($stmt, "cursor", $cursor, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR); oci_execute ($stmt); // <---- this is where the error occurs ... } $arrValues = $eoci_execute($sql); // <--- but I would like to know this line instead of the above line!! [/CODE] is there any way (like special variables) to get information on a function's caller? Or should I best throw an Exception, so that the error is reported back to the caller?
