That is so true, and one of the reasons why PHP is still being poorly considered by so many engineers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-11 13:54:53] samuel dot chemla at orange dot com Hi, it seems this bug won't be fixed soon. Could you please at least update the doc to reflect that it is broken? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-08 12:39:02] benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
