Should be as little as inserting the following two lines into run-tests.phpt at line 1711 (HEAD):
I've committed a slightly modified version. Hopefully this helps.

Unfortunately not. I missed one detail. SELECT varbinary_column PHP 5:

    string(<length>) "varbinary_column"

PHP 6 in the past:

    string(<length>) "varbinary_column"
    (distinction string vs. binary, "BC compliant")

PHP 6 today:

    unicode(<length>) "varbinary_column"
    (no distinction between string and binary)

PHP 6 feature request of Marcus

    binary(<length>) "varbinary_column"
    (distinction string vs. binary, "BC break")

Now, I either need an additional %string|binary% thingie or - which I'm in favour of - I will stall the update of all ext/mysql and ext/mysqli tests in HEAD with regards to [U]EXPECT[F] until PHP 6 and run-tests.phpt have stabilized. Ulf
