## #76503 — Aaron Lewis — 2014-08-14T02:13:31+00:00

Hi,

I'm trying to print error messages in zend, so I add a function in
zend_API.{h,c}

Then I got and error:
/Zend/zend_API.c:3226: undefined reference to `php_error_docref

So, what's the appropriate function to use?

zend_error_docref doesn’t exist, I believe the convention is to use zend_error (of which php_error is an alias).

Also, you ought to consider going to IRC (I like irc://irc.efnet.org/#php.pecl myself) or somewhere with these sorts of small, quickly answerable questions to avoid spamming the list.
