I don't think you understand what I mean. Now pg_fetch_result returns FALSE on the error. If they do as you suggest, it will return FALSE on the error and FALSE if it need to return the boolean value of FALSE, which came from the database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-22 12:14:00] olegxx at gmail dot com This extension do not have any connection wide options. The problem with pg_fetch_result is that it cannot return false as valid result because it return false is case of an error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-22 11:35:36] fgfgfgfdf at somewhere dot com didn't you get the point? it has to be *connection wide* option and it shouldn't be completly different for each and every database type mysqli_init() -> mysqli_options() -> mysqli_real_connect() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-22 11:29:36] imbolk at gmail dot com fgfgfgfdf, what about pg_fetch_result? It returns false on an error and will, in your case, return false also if it succeeds in getting the value false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
