PEAR :: Bug #2417 :: [PATCH] Incorrect processing of ‘permission denied’ style error messages<\/a><\/p>\n

Got the bugger – and supplied a patch that fixes it!<\/p>\n

This should spell an end to those annoying (and really unhelpful) “DB Error: unknown error” messages from PEAR::DB when the user doesn’t have enough permissions.<\/p>\n

Been hitting this a bit with MemberDB.<\/p>\n

I’d love PEAR::DB to return back the native error string as well… but it’s kinda hidden.<\/p>\n

Maybe I should be changing the getMessage() methods to return the PEAR message *and* the extra debug stuff? hrrmmm…<\/p>\n

oh well, for later<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
