Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-09-21 16:18:14] weierophinney@php.net Description: ------------ In all prior releases of PHP, the Postgres resources were as stated on https://www.php.net/manual/en/resource.php With the merging of https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6791, PHP 8.1.0 is changing pgsql resources into resource objects. This breaks existing code that is checking for the old resource types as currently documented. As such, this is a BC BREAK in a minor version. Test script: --------------- $pgsql = pg_connect($validConnectionString); echo get_resource_type($pgsql), "\n"; $pgResult = pg_query($pgsql, $someValidSql); echo get_resource_type($pgResult), "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- pgsql link pgsql result Actual result: -------------- PgSql\Connection PgSql\Result ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81464&edit=1
