If you want an intermediate PHP version, can it be done via Nikita's solution. As in, for 8.1, issue a deprecation warning if mysqli_report() hasn't been called before opening a connection, then change the default to exceptions in 8.2. This would get everyone (who upgrades to every 0.x) to notice that they haven't specified how they want reporting to work, and effectively gives them a year to notice and specify that choice. Switching the default from OFF to ERROR to ERROR | STRICT isn't an obvious step, as that still means you're still having a single step to change from error reporting to exceptions. Thanks, Craig
