Description

function odbc_errormsg(?Odbc\Connection $odbc = null): string

Returns a string containing the last ODBC error message, or an empty string if there has been no errors.

Parameters

odbc

The ODBC connection object, see odbc_connect() for details.

Return Values

If odbc is specified, the last state of that connection is returned, else the last state of any connection is returned.
