The PHP function oci_connect (which connects to an Oracle database) just returns false if it fails, which at the moment I handle like this:

$connection = oci_connect($username, $password, $database);
if (!$connection){
	return $result = "Trouble connecting to the Oracle Database";
}

But really I'd like to have the actual ORA error code, so I can be more informative. Is this possible?
