Hi, internals
I'm currently working on renovating odbc_connect and odbc_pconnect.
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/12306
As a problem came up, I'm planning to create an RFC.
I explain the problem briefly.
In addition to the dsn, these functions have a credential argument. They are
required and expect string. The following two cases are problematic here.
1. If the password is set to a blank character ('')
2. For authentication that does not require a password
Since the current signature does not allow nulls, we cannot separate the
handling of these cases and must give up on one of them.
Therefore, I am thinking of changing the credential argument to be nullable and
optional for these functions, like pdo.
What do you think?
Best regards.
Saki
