#39822 [Opn->Asn]: new PDO() doesn't work with firebird

ID: 39822 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: bx at clansphere dot de -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: PDO related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-12-13 (snap) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: wez Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-13 22:08:25] bx at clansphere dot de Description: ------------ using try/catch doesn't work for firebird like it works with other rdbms extensions. i think the problem is that firebird returns something (NULL) so that try expects all went well, but it is not checking for the PDO object itself. i am using is_object() currently to look for errors, but that way i can't get errorcodes like 'database does not exist' for example and even when track_errors is enabled $php_errormsg is empty. Reproduce code: --------------- try { $connection = new PDO('firebird:dbname=test.fdb', $user, $password); } catch(PDOException $error) { echo $error->getMessage(); } Expected result: ---------------- catch can be called to get the exact error Actual result: -------------- try statement thinks everything is ok ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39822&edit=1
