#50169 [Opn->Bgs]: PDO::query

ID: 50169 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: milosdj at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: Already documented: "PDO::query() returns a PDOStatement object, or FALSE on failure." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-13 18:56:49] milosdj at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Documentation states: Return Values PDO::query() returns a PDOStatement object. Witch absolutely is not true for mysql! if(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=0){PDO::query() will return FALSE;} if(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=1){PDO::query() will return FALSE;} if(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=3){PDO::query() will return PDOStatement object;} So either change PDO::query() function to always return PDOStatement object or add two sentences in PHP PDO documentation. Reproduce code: --------------- $db=new PDO($dsn,$user,$pass,array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=>0)); // or =>1 $sql='SELECT * from tblName'; $result= $db->query($sql); // as object if($result==false){die('Look it actually is false!!!');} Expected result: ---------------- What documentation states. ALWAYS PDOStatement! Please fix documentation. Actual result: -------------- if PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT $result is false if PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING $result is false if PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION $result is PDOStatement ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50169&edit=1
