#49736 [NEW]: PDO::prepare return value description incomplete ?

From: michael202 at gmx dot de Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: PDO::prepare return value description incomplete ? Description: ------------ PDO::prepare returns false OR an exception because the return value depends on the error mode ?!? default behaviour is: return false can be changed with PDO->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT); or PDO->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); Is it configurable in the php.ini ? Can you please specify the documentation ?
