# MongoDB::forceError

(PECL mongo >=0.9.5)

MongoDB::forceError — Creates a database error

### Description

public MongoDB::forceError ( ) : bool

This method is not very useful for normal MongoDB use. It forces a database error to occur. This means that MongoDB::lastError() will return a generic database error after running this command.

This command is identical to running:

`<?php
public function forceError() {
return $this->command(array('forceerror' => 1));
}
?>`

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

Returns the database response.
