From: r dot wilczek at web-appz dot de Operating system: openSuse 10.3 PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: PDO related Bug description: PDO::prepare() throws PDOException instead of returning FALSE
Description: ------------ Documentation says PDO::prepare() returns FALSE on failure. But tests with PDO_SQLITE and PDO_MYSQL show that you either get a PDOException thrown at you or a PDOStatement which cannot be executed. I am quite surprised, for I upgraded from PHP5.2.0 to PHP5.2.5. In 5.2.0 both drivers threw exceptions on syntax-errors in PDO::prepare(). One could live with exceptions instead of FALSE but it should be done in a uniform manner of all the drivers. Reproduce code: --------------- $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'user', 'password', array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION)); $stmt = $pdo->prepare('some nonsense'); var_dump($stmt); $pdo = new PDO('sqlite:/tmp/foo.db', 'user', 'password', array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION)); $stmt = $pdo->prepare('some nonsense'); var_dump($stmt); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- object(PDOStatement)#2 (1) { ["queryString"]=> string(13) "some nonsense" } Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 near "some": syntax error' in PHPDocument1:5 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43443&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43443&r=mysqlcfg
