Bug description: e.g. mysql_unbuffered_query doesn't function but throws no error to indicate
It's a BIG BIG Problem to find the reason why your application doesn't work when
there's NO indication that a implemented php-function does NOT what it should do, without
trowing any error!
Thats what happened as I tried to move back from 4.0.6 to 4.0.5 due to a BIG bug in the
memory-management of 4.0.6:
for 4.0.6 I replaced mysql_query with mysql_unbuffered_query in one function. There was no Prob with
that in 4.0.6...but after I had 4.0.5 back again my app didn't work anymore without giving any
indication of the reason.
It would be great if the php-developers could provide a bit more error-messages for instance when
mysql_unbuffered_query works only for SELECT's, not for INSERT's, why not throw a WARNING
or ERROR if you try to use the wrong query.
this would avoid Days of debugging!
