Bug #64705 [Com]: errorInfo property of PDOException is null when PDO::__construct() fails

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64705&edit=1 ID: 64705 Comment by: corey dot taylor dot fl at gmail dot com Reported by: christian dot lawrence at calorieking dot com Summary: errorInfo property of PDOException is null when PDO::__construct() fails Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: PDO related PHP Version: 5.3.24 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I've run into this same issue recently. When Azure Sql Databases is "paused", the only way to get that error is through the db code. However errorInfo is not set when this PDOException is thrown from PDO::__construct(). I see there is a PR associated. Is there any chance the issue with that PR can be solved for 8.0 if there is an ABI issue?

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
