note 115320 added to pdo.construct

The parameter name is passwd , and not password. <?php public PDO::__construct ( string $dsn [, string $username [, string $passwd [, array $options ]]] ) ?> When you are using a dependency injection container which uses Reflection internally and when using the string password then it will never get connected throwing error unable to connected with no password. Eg : taken from Aura.Di <?php $di->params['PDO'] = array( 'dsn' => 'mysql:dbname=dbname;host=127.0.0.1', 'username' => 'username', 'passwd' => 'somep' ); $pdo = $di->newInstance('PDO'); ?> Wrong usage given belwo. Note the difference in passwd and password <?php $di->params['PDO'] = array( 'dsn' => 'mysql:dbname=dbname;host=127.0.0.1', 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'somep' ); $pdo = $di->newInstance('PDO'); ?> I hope this will help someone not to spend hours of debugging and trying refelection to see which paramter name is for the constructor. ---- Server IP: 103.241.147.77 Probable Submitter: 116.68.99.73 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.construct.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115320 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115320 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115320 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
