Bye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-03 16:30:12] an0nym at narod dot ru Poor MySQLi developers... they've managed to solve this problem without specification. Poor you... you've spent sooo many time for nothing developing this function, which works in 35 of 38 cases - this stuff has no specification! Wait for a specification - you have a good excuse! Bye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-03 16:17:20] uw@php.net You are free to write a patch. I refuse to work on stuff that has no specification and which may go into any direction. That typically ends up in a backwards compatibility nightmare, which in particular for an abstraction like PDO makes no sense to me. The patch may be rather simple. But watch out for different values returned by different MySQL versions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-03 15:39:20] an0nym at narod dot ru > libmysql and mysqlnd behave the same way. If this is decided to be considered as a bug it is not a mysqlnd bug. I agree. This is not a libmysql or mysqlnd bug. This is a PDO (or PDO_MySQL) bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
