Still the same with PHP 7.0.4 and pdo_mysql. It returns a string instead of a resource.

PHP 7 would have been THE opportunity to fix weird behaviours such as this one. Missed again.

It's been 9 years now, since this bug has been open. Maybe we can wait for another 5 years
before PHP 8 is released, and this bug can be fixed. Or not.

The fear to break backwards compatibility is SO enormous within the PHP community, that everyone
prefers to carry on with bugs, rather than fixing them, so that bad code can continue working from
one version to the other. Even major releases.

It's now 2016, and I'm using PHP 5.6.18, and this issue is STILL present. I wonder if
it's been fixed in php 7...

This is still an issue with PHP 5.5.9 with MS SQL Server 2008 R2. Result is a string instead of a
stream.
