Bug #78467 [Com]: Impossible to use PDO to connect to MySQL with ClearText Plugin

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78467&edit=1 ID: 78467 Comment by: henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com Reported by: henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com Summary: Impossible to use PDO to connect to MySQL with ClearText Plugin Status: Open Type: Bug Package: PDO MySQL Operating System: Any PHP Version: 7.1.31 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't want them to maintain old versions. Just don't remove the old versions from package managers. If I want to install old software that's my right and my risk to take. That's not up to you to decide. The vast majority of code written for 5.x could never be exploited anyway. This is the height of nerd arrogance. Don't patronize me assholes. I'll figure out the risk for myself. If I feel like running php 4.0 on Slackware 3.1 I'll do it and that's none of your business.

This authentication method requires the MySQL clear text plugin. With the MySQL CLI client this is turned on by providing the CLI switch --enable-cleartext-plugin It is currently impossible to use PDO with the mysqlnd engine to facilitate this type of connection.
