pg_trace - Enable tracing a PostgreSQL connection

SYNOPSIS
bool pg_trace (string $pathname, [string $mode = "w"], [resource $connection]) DESCRIPTION
pg_trace(3) enables tracing of the PostgreSQL frontend/backend communication to a file. To fully understand the results, one needs to be familiar with the internals of PostgreSQL communication protocol. For those who are not, it can still be useful for tracing errors in queries sent to the server, you could do for example grep '^To backend' trace.log and see what queries actually were sent to the PostgreSQL server. For more information, refer to the PostgreSQL Documentation. PARAMETERS
o $pathname - The full path and file name of the file in which to write the trace log. Same as in fopen(3). o $mode - An optional file access mode, same as for fopen(3). o $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(3) or pg_pconnect(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pg_trace(3) example <?php $pgsql_conn = pg_connect("dbname=mark host=localhost"); if ($pgsql_conn) { pg_trace('/tmp/trace.log', 'w', $pgsql_conn); pg_query("SELECT 1"); pg_untrace($pgsql_conn); // Now /tmp/trace.log will contain backend communication } else { print pg_last_error($pgsql_conn); exit; } ?> SEE ALSO

pg_last_error - Get the last error message string of a connection

SYNOPSIS
string pg_last_error ([resource $connection]) DESCRIPTION
pg_last_error(3) returns the last error message for a given $connection. Error messages may be overwritten by internal PostgreSQL (libpq) function calls. It may not return an appropriate error message if multi- ple errors occur inside a PostgreSQL module function. Use pg_result_error(3), pg_result_error_field(3), pg_result_status(3) and pg_connection_status(3) for better error handling. Note This function used to be called pg_errormessage(3). PARAMETERS
o $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(3) or pg_pconnect(3). RETURN VALUES
A string containing the last error message on the given $connection, or FALSE on error. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pg_last_error(3) example <?php $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect"); // Query that fails $res = pg_query($dbconn, "select * from doesnotexist"); echo pg_last_error($dbconn); ?> SEE ALSO
