Thanks for taking the time to make PHP better :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-05 09:40:06] alvaro at demogracia dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/pdo.error-handling --- The example provided ("Create a PDO instance and set the error mode") is correct but IMHO it's slightly misleading as well. It suggests that this line: $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); ... has any effect in capturing connection errors but, if connection fails, the line will not even execute. The base problem is probably that the PDO constructor does not seem to obey PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE settings anyway: on error, it'll always trigger a warning and throw a PDOException. That's not documented either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61284&edit=1
