Doc #77414 [NEW]: PDO __construct does not thrown an exception by default

From: admin at torntech dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:PDO __construct does not thrown an exception by default Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/pdo.construct --- The description of Errors/Exceptions states "PDO::__construct() throws a PDOException if the attempt to connect to the requested database fails." However the default PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE for PDO is PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT, which requires the use of PDO::errorInfo() or PDO::errorCode() and does not throw an exception as indicated The documentation should include information about the PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE attribute being set to PDO::ERRMODE_SLIENT by default and that an exception is thrown only when the PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE attribute is set to PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION. Test script: --------------- new PDO ("mysql:localhost; dbname=test", "root", ""); //invalid DSN usage Expected result: ---------------- An exception to be thrown Actual result: -------------- No Exception is thrown by default due to PDO::ERRMODE_SLIENT -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77414&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77414&r=mysqlcfg
