Bug #81405 [NEW]: Values of PDO::PARAM_ constants have changed
From: me at derrabus dot de
Operating system: macOS 11.5
PHP version: 8.1.0beta3
Package: PDO Core
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Values of PDO::PARAM_ constants have changed
Description:
------------
While patching the test suites of Symfony and Doctrine for PHP 8.1, I
have discovered that the internal values of several PDO constants have
changed.
While I am aware that as a developer I should not rely on the value of
those constants but rather use them as-is, I am afraid that this change
might break existing application in interesting ways.
My assumption is that the actual values of those constants should not
matter much to PDO because they are used in switch-like constructs, but
I might be wrong here. Under my assumption, the change feels a bit
arbitrary and unnecessary.
In the interest of providing a smooth upgrade path from PHP 8.0 to 8.1
for everyone, I'd kindly ask to restore the listed constants to their
values from PHP 8.0.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo 'PDO::PARAM_NULL => ' . \PDO::PARAM_NULL . "\n";
echo 'PDO::PARAM_BOOL => ' . \PDO::PARAM_BOOL . "\n";
echo 'PDO::PARAM_INT => ' . \PDO::PARAM_INT . "\n";
echo 'PDO::PARAM_STR => ' . \PDO::PARAM_STR . "\n";
echo 'PDO::PARAM_LOB => ' . \PDO::PARAM_LOB . "\n";
echo 'PDO::PARAM_STMT => ' . \PDO::PARAM_STMT . "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
PDO::PARAM_NULL => 0
PDO::PARAM_BOOL => 5
PDO::PARAM_INT => 1
PDO::PARAM_STR => 2
PDO::PARAM_LOB => 3
PDO::PARAM_STMT => 4
Actual result:
--------------
PDO::PARAM_NULL => 0
PDO::PARAM_BOOL => 1
PDO::PARAM_INT => 2
PDO::PARAM_STR => 3
PDO::PARAM_LOB => 4
PDO::PARAM_STMT => 5
