Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-24 17:11:36] christian dot lawrence at calorieking dot com Description: ------------ PDO::__construct() will always throw a PDOException if the connection fails regardless of which PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE is currently set. The PDOException has a public property $errorInfo which corresponds to PDO::errorInfo() or PDOStatement::errorInfo(). When PDO::__construct() throws a PDOException say, because of a database server issue, the public property PDOException::$errorInfo is set to NULL and the return value from PDOException::getCode() is not the expected string SQLSTATE error code. I would have expected a non-NULL PDOException::$errorInfo to be set when the exception is caught. Test script: --------------- <?php // Valid DSN, but with wrong password to trigger the exception $dsn = 'pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=test;user=foo;password=wrongpass'; try { $pdo = new \PDO($dsn, null, null); } catch (\PDOException $e) { var_dump($e->errorInfo); var_dump($e->getCode()); var_dump($e->getMessage()); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(3) { [0] => string(5) "08006" [1] => int(7) [2] => string(53) "FATAL: password authentication failed for user "foo"" } string(5) "08006" string(73) "SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "foo"" Actual result: -------------- NULL int(7) string(73) "SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "foo"" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64705&edit=1
