Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-05 19:48:35] admin at torntech dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77414&edit=1
