PHP: openssl_error_string

Description

string openssl_error_string ( void )

Returns an error message string, or FALSE if there are no more error messages to return.

openssl_error_string() returns the last error from the openSSL library. Error messages are stacked, so this function should be called multiple times to collect all of the information.

Пример 1. openssl_error_string() example

<?php // lets assume you just called an openssl function that failed while ($msg = openssl_error_string()) echo $msg . "<br />\n"; ?>

Becareful when using this function to check errors, as it seems to read from a buffer of errors, which could include errors from another script or process that was using openssl functions. (I was surprised to find it returing error messages before I had called any openssl_* functions)



To clear the errors, you can do:



while ($err = openssl_error_string());



before using openssl functions. I'm not totally sure of the effect this will have on other threads though, maybe someone can clairify.
