That does not change the fact that it is a BC break which should be treated accordingly. You are basically advocating people should add mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF) to their setup which will totally defeat the purpose of the change. Or (probably more what you have in mind) that they should add mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR) now (to prepare for the change) and switch to MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT later once they know they are ready. And this is exactly what I think should be done by the PHP default so people don't have to go through this manually. > Moreover, I'd rather we get rid of the warning modes all together as they make the least > sense to me. > Either you're handling the failures explicitly anyway and you use the silent mode, or you > don't and want it to throw with the exception mode. This is where you are missing a key component: I want to go through a phase where I will notice parts where manual error handling (or exception handling after the change) is missing without having my application abort. This is what warnings are good for. To some of us this is a very valuable step when upgrading. - Chris
