From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: MySQLi related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:var_dump(): Couldn't fetch mysqli
Description: ------------ E_WARNING when accessing properties or methods of MySQLi object if connection fails I know other people already reported this kind of issue: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33635 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34828 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36949 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45935 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45940 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50772 though I think telling the user "couldn't fetch *mysqli*" is just wrong because PHP is able to use the MySQLi object and even some of its properties or methods (e.g. MySQLi::$client_version or MySQLi::$connect_errno) i am not sure if this is a real bug report or may be a feature request. but I think it would help other people if the warning says something like "mysqli is not connected" or may be E_WARNING should not be raised at all. -- PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: May 14 2010 03:25:13) MySQLi Client API library version 5.1.45 Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); // not bug related ini_set('display_errors', 1); // not bug related $foo = new MySQLi('localhost', 'root', 'wrongpassword'); // alternative to the line above, same result: $foo = new MySQLi(); var_dump($foo); ?> Expected result: ---------------- object(mysqli)#1 (17) { /* ... */ } Actual result: -------------- Lots of "Warning: var_dump(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in [...]" (for nearly every single key in mysqli) object(mysqli)#1 (17) { /* content as expected */ } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51818&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51818&r=mysqlcfg
