PHP RFC: Add curl_multi_errno(), curl_share_errno() and curl_share_strerror()

• Version: 0.9

• First Published at: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new-curl-error-functions

The ext/curl extension define 3 different resource types :

• cURL handle created by php curl_init()
• cURL Multi Handle created by curl_multi_init()
• cURL Share Handle created by curl_share_init()

As of today, it's possible to get the last error related to a cURL handle with the curl_errno() function, but there is no way to retrieve what was the last error related to a cURL Multi/Share handle.

Add curl_multi_errno(), curl_share_errno() and curl_share_strerror() functions to get a consistent mechanism of error retrieval across all curl resource types.

Functions in bold are the one that do not exists and that are be introduced in this RFC.

int curl_multi_errno(resource $mh);
int curl_share_errno(resource $rh);
string curl_share_strerror(int $errno);

None.

7.1

Simple 50% +1 majority: “Should those functions should be added in 7.1”
