 New Comment:

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l
PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: May 13 2010
20:01:00) 
MySQL Server version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.5 (Ubuntu)

When executing a statement which generates:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry
'{REDACTED}' for key 'PRIMARY'

The following test does not pass when the exception is caught:

if ($exception->getCode() === 23000)

However, the following code DOES pass when the exception is caught:

if ((int)$exception->getCode() === 23000)

The API documentation for getCode() states that it returns an integer
and that is clearly not the case in this example.

I merely request that the function and the documentation be consistent.

Description:
------------
The follow code is ok, cause 123, even as a string, it can be convert to
number.
new Exception("Message", "123");

The follow is not ok.
new Exception("Message", "NotNumber");

PHP is not a typed language, why Exception must have a number as code?

The problem is that error code doesn´t means "Number error code" but
could be a string error code, like mysql 5.1 uses.

Check the follow reproduce able code.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

error_reporting(E_ALL);

$host = "localhost";
$dbName = "test";
$user = "root";
$passwd = "";
$mysqlDsn = "mysql:host=$host;$dbName";

$pdo = new PDO($mysqlDsn, $user, $passwd);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
try {
	$pdo->query("SELECT version");
}catch(Exception $e){
	$code = $e->getCode(); // 42S22
	echo "<pre>";
	var_dump($code); // string(5) "42S22"
	throw new Exception($e->getMessage(), $code);
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
The follow line, should accept the $code var, but doesn´t.
throw new Exception($e->getMessage(), $code);

It´s not consistent, since the Exception object constructor can´t accept
a non number as code, but it can return.

See:

$msg = $catchedPdoMysqlException->getMessage();
$code = $catchedPdoMysqlException->getCode();

new Exception($msg, $code); // $code is not valid one.

Actual result:
--------------
Exception code, should accept non numbers as a code value, as mysql
does.
