Oracle exceptions displayed as PHP warnings not errors

Question

I'm interacting with an Oracle database using the oci8 interface.

My problem is that whenever the Oracle code raises an exception with an appropriate message and code, PHP emits a warning and not an error.

I need access to the error code, but oci_error always returns false (presumably because it is a warning not an error).

Is there any way to cause these warnings to be shown as errors and correctly populate the call to oci_error?

Turns out I was using the API incorrectly, when calling oci_error, you have to pass in the statement resource. This resulted in getting the correct error information.
