PDO - Cannot retrieve warnings with emulated prepares disabled [message #183501] Mon, 28 October 2013 22:30 Go to next message

When I do this:

$pdo = new PDO( /* MySQL connection */ );
// $pdo->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false );
$stmt = $pdo->prepare( 'SELECT 5 + "Five"' );
$stmt->execute();
var_dump( $pdo->query( 'SHOW WARNINGS' )
->fetchAll( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) );

I get a warning back:

Warning 1292 Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value: 'Five'

But when I uncomment the second line (disabling emulation of prepared
statements), "SHOW WARNINGS" returns an empty array. Why?

How can I get warnings and notices from MySQL in that case? PDO doesn't
seem to offer a method for retrieving them -- only for errors.

Greetings,
Thomas

I take it you've been in touch with Mr. Cornford to point out that

I just checked on a different server (more recent versions of both PHP
and MySQL) and indeed, there it works.

PHP 5.4.8
MySQL 5.1.41

Hm. So it could either be a bug that was fixed in a later version or I
somehow messed up my local installation.

My MySQL version does support them. Still, PDO's default seems to be
"on" for the emulation.

I presume reading the changelog will tell.

Not here; the attribute is not even supported:

$ php -r '
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost", "…", "…");
var_dump($pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES));'
PHP Warning: PDO::getAttribute(): SQLSTATE[IM001]: Driver does not support
this function: driver does not support that attribute in Command line code
on line 3
PHP Stack trace:

PHP 2. PDO->getAttribute() Command line code:3

Thomas,

I could be wrong, but from my experience, the mysql driver has never
supported prepared statements, while the mysqli driver has always
supported them. This is why PDO has to emulate the prepared statements.

If you disable emulation with a mysql connection, I would expect errors
in the execution. What is the return value from your prepare() and
execute() calls?

This is what PDO tells me about the driver being used:
PDO::ATTR_CLIENT_VERSION => mysqlnd 5.0.10 - 20111026

Prepare() returns a PDOStatement object and execute returns true.

Everything works fine with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES == false (except
for the issue with SHOW WARNINGS) and consistent with the assumption
that prepared statements are indeed supported.

$pdo->prepare( 'invalid' ) will return false; with emulated prepares it
will return a PDOStatement object -- both as expected.

With emulated prepares,

$stmt = $pdo->prepare( 'SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT ?' );
$stmt->execute( [ 4 ] );

will give me a syntax error complaining about "LIMIT '4'", whereas with
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES == false the query works fine (proving that
the ? placeholder was indeed replaced with (int) 4 instead of (string) '4'.

Greetings,
Thomas

Yes, I get that error too -- which is all the more confusing, since
otherwise the behaviour with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES == false is
consistent with the assumption that prepared statements are indeed
supported. See my reply to Jerry.

Both Jerry and you are wrong.

Prepared statements have been supported in MySQL since version 4.1 (as you
can read in the MySQL manual), and with the “pdo_mysql” extension since its
first version (as you can read in the PHP manual). Naturally, therefore
they have always been supported with the “mysql” and “mysqli” extensions
*too*, provided your MySQL client library and the MySQL server accessed with
it were recent enough.

Jerry is also confusing “mysql”, “mysqli”, and “pdo_mysql”, which are
*separate* extensions (you are using the latter). *You* are confusing the
MySQL client (library) – that is *used by* a database driver – with a
database driver (for PHP).

“pdo_mysql” is a PHP extension that provides a PDO driver (a database-
specific driver that implements the PDO interface as provided by the “pdo”
PHP extension); “mysql” and “mysqli” are PHP extensions that provide only
MySQL drivers.

“pdo_mysql” does _not_ use nor require either the “mysql” or the “mysqli”
extension. As a result, if you have “pdo_mysql” loaded (which is only
possible if you load “pdo” first), and no applications on your server that
use the mysql*_* functions/methods, you can disable the other two without
your applications that use “pdo_mysql” stopping to function. BTDT.

PHP extensions:

<<provides>>
mysql ----------------> driver --------.
(deprecated/obsolete) : <<uses>>
:
<<provides>> <<uses>> v <<accesses>>
mysqli ------------> driver <---> MySQL client -------------> MySQL server
(library)
^
<<provides>> : <<uses>>
pdo_mysql ------------> driver --------'
|
| <<implements>>
|
<<provides>> v
pdo --------------------> PDO
(data-access layer = interface)

You and I get the _warning_ above because, as you can read in the PHP
manual, “pdo_*mysql*” (at least in version 5.4.x) does not need/support that
attribute; when it detects that the MySQL client version is that old that it
does not support prepared statements, and you are using PDO::prepare(), it
will emulate them automagically.

However, as you can also read in the PHP manual, since PHP 5.4.0 MySQL
versions older than 4.1 are no longer supported by “pdo_mysql”, so there
will never be emulation of Prepared Statements with “pdo_mysql” in PHP 5.4+;
it is unnecessary.

I do not for sure know why, with PHP 5.4.x, you are getting different
results with and without setting the attribute. Maybe it has to do with the
fact that you are using a MySQL 5._0_ client library to access a MySQL 5._1_
server.

If that is not the reason, it could be either a flawed test case or a PHP
bug; if you can still reproduce it after synchronizing the MySQL client
versions with the server version, try upgrading to the latest stable version
of PHP 5.4.

BTW, MySQL 5.1.x was first released in 2005-11; it is in the
Extended/Sustaining Support phase now (IIUC, you have to pay for updates).
MySQL Server CE 5.1.41 was GA-released on 2009-11-05; the latest version is
5.1.72, GA-released on 2013-09-20.

I was not discussing the pdo_mysql extension. I was discussing the
mysql_extension - which does NOT support prepared statements. And
pdo_mysql in PHP 4.1 only emulated prepared statements; it did not
support the MySQL version of prepared statements directly.

You mean the PDO authors wrote their own mysql client library?
Interesting that they would go to all that trouble when the MySQL client
library is readily available for use. It is also debugged and changes
as necessary with MySQL versions.

Glad I don't use PDO.

Who cares about old versions? Nothing in his update says he's using an
old version.

Maybe you're not sure because you don't know anything.

You have said pdo_mysql had to emulate prepared statements because some
“mysql driver” was not capable. This is bullshit.

I have said nothing of the sort. You have not even understood the

it has been given to you *in graphical form*. How stupid are you anyway?

Ok, so you're using MySQL's driver for PHP 5.4+. That's good; it
supports everything.

Yea, I though about the prepare() - if it didn't return a PDOStatement
object your execute() call would get a fatal exception ($stmt not an
object). But I'm surprised that the execute() call returns true.

If anything, I would have expected the opposite to be true - works with
emulation but not with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES == false, but that's
only because I think PDO has a bit more flexibility in preparing
statements. I could be wrong, though.

Do you get a result from the 'Select 5 + "Five"'? If so, what is it?

Also, what happens if you try "Select 5 + 'Five'"? (note different quoting).

I'm beginning to think you've found a bug in the PDO extension, but I'm
not sure (yet).

AISB, that is utter nonsense. “mysql”, “mysqli”, and “pdo_mysql” (the PDO
driver for MySQL) are *different* drivers (for the *same* *third-party*
client library) and have no dependency on each other whatsoever.

Also, while the “mysql” extension does not provide a *convenience API* for
Prepared Statements (PS), and it is recommended not to use the “mysql”
extension at all, you *can* still use PSs with it; they are, after all, part
of the MySQL statement syntax:

$ php -r '
mysql_connect("localhost", "…", "…");
mysql_query("PREPARE stmt1 FROM \"SELECT SQRT(POW(?,2) + POW(?,2)) AS
hypotenuse\";");
mysql_query("SET @a = 3;");
mysql_query("SET @b = 4;");
$result = mysql_query("EXECUTE stmt1 USING @a, @b;");
var_dump(mysql_fetch_array($result));'
array(2) {
[0] =>
string(1) "5"
'hypotenuse' =>
string(1) "5"
}

(Example from
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/sql-syntax-prepared-statements.html>)

You have it backwards and utterly wrong on top of that. He is _not_ using
“MySQL's driver for PHP 5.4+”. He is using PDO_MySQL – a PDO driver for
MySQL – that accesses a MySQL client library on his system (that has nothing
to do with PHP) of version 5.0.10. PDO and PDO_MySQL are available since
PHP 5.0.

Do you understand the difference?

And if he is using that older client library to access a MySQL 5._1_ server,
it is _not_ good. (Even though prepared statements should not be an issue
then – they are supported since MySQL 4.1 –, but in my experience a MySQL
version mismatch tends to cause problems.)

Yes, I get a result -- see below. I did some more testing:

$pdo = new PDO( 'mysql:...', '...', '...' );
var_dump( $pdo->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false ) );
var_dump( $stmt = $pdo->prepare( 'SELECT 5 + "Five"' ) );
var_dump( $stmt->execute() );
var_dump( $stmt->fetchAll( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) );
var_dump( $pdo->query( 'SHOW WARNINGS' )
->fetchAll( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) );

Return values with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = false:
setAttribute -> true
prepare -> PDOStatement
execute -> true
fetchAll -> array( '5 + "Five"' => (float) 5 )
SHOW WARNINGS -> (empty array)

Return values with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = true:
setAttribute -> true
prepare -> PDOStatement
execute -> true
fetchAll -> array( '5 + "Five"' => (string) '5' )
SHOW WARNINGS -> array with warning

Results are the same with PHP 5.4.8 and PHP 5.4.21. Note the different
return types of the value 5 -- float vs. string. This surprises me a
little -- why would the setting for emulation of prepared statements
influence the *returned* data?

> Also, what happens if you try "Select 5 + 'Five'"? (note different

No change.

> I'm beginning to think you've found a bug in the PDO extension, but I'm

Hm. I tested with PHP 5.4.8 and 5.4.21 and it didn't work. But it
obviously worked with PHP 5.4.15 as both Thomas Lahn's and my own test
on a different server have shown. In both cases, MySQL 5.5 is involved
whereas my local system is still on MySQL 5.1.41. This leads me to think
that it's not (or at least not entirely) a PDO issue.

Greetings,
Thomas

You have a different order of fetching the result and fetching the warnings.
Please try my test cases.

I have no idea.

The more important question is: Why would it matter *at* *all* in PHP 5.4.x
where by PDO_MySQL that attribute *is* *not* *supported* and *emulation*
*is* *not* *done* when using a MySQL 4.1+ client?

Something is utterly wrong with your local setup, and I assume it is at
least the MySQL version mismatch. First be clear which version of PHP,
MySQL client, and MySQL server you are using, *exactly*, and that you are
using the correct versions.

That said, why are you preparing invalid statements in the first place?

Sure you did. You said quote: "pdo_mysql" does _not_ use nor require
either "mysql" or the "mysqli" extension.... : Unqote. So since it
doesn't require any of the extensions provided by MySQL, the authors
must have written their own extension.

Or are you going to admit you're full of bullshit, as always?

BTW - have you told Richard Cornford "There is no javascript"? If not,
why not?

I really don't care what mysql says about the code. I'm writing in PHP

Thomas,

I'm not sure it isn't a PDO issue. Just because it worked with MySQL
5.5 and didn't with MySQL 5.1.41 is not entirely conclusive. Only if
there was a change in the error/warning handling between MySQL 5.1.41
and 5.5 would it be entirely MySQL.

I might recommend you check the change logs for MySQL between 5.1.41 and
5.5. Alternately, you could follow up on comp.databases.mysql and see
if there is a change. This would help determine if a change in MySQL
accounts for your difference in processing.

What is true. You can verify this by building PHP without the "Mysql"
and "Mysqli" extensions (--with-mysql --with-mysqli), but with the "PDO"
extension enabled--code using the PDO extension to access a MySQL
database will still work.

A PHP extension may well use a library provided by MySQL (and PDO
actually does this when talking to a MySQL database).

Sure you can. But that doesn't mean you're not using the mysql or
mysqli libraries from MySQL. It only means the mysql or mysqli PHP code
is not being generated.

You don't know the difference, obviously.

I just did so, but the result remains unchanged: No warning with
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = false.

I had assumed emulation was the default for PDO, whether necessary or
not and you had to disable it explicitly. But if that's not the case,
the whole thing becomes even more confusing.

> Something is utterly wrong with your local setup,

I'm inclined to agree with you. My setup is a XAMPP distribution (a few
years old, yes). I had modified the Apache configuration so I could have
several different versions of PHP running as FastCGI and configure the
PHP version to use via .htaccess per project folder. Still, I don't see
how this could have messed things up in the way observed.

PHP 5.4.21, CGI/FastCGI (previously 5.4.8, same result)
MySQL server: 5.1.41
MySQL client: mysqlnd 5.0.10 - 20111026 -
$Id: e707c415db32080b3752b232487a435ee0372157 $

The server is the one that came with my XAMPP installation and the PHP
distribution was downloaded yesterday.

The cleanest solution is probably a complete fresh installation, but I
can't afford any "downtime" of my dev environment at the moment.

> That said, why are you preparing invalid statements in the first place?

And how would /you/ test if warnings "work"?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look there when my time permits it.

I have done some more testing.
PHP 5.4.13, MySQL 5.1.66 -> no warning
PHP 5.4.15, MySQL 5.5.31 -> warning works

But I've also noticed that the two installations above don't seem to use
mysqlnd. There's no mysqlnd section in phpinfo() and the pdo_mysql
section has the client API version identical to the MySQL version,
whereas in installations with mysqlnd the client API version is listed
as mysqlnd 5.0.10 - 20111026. (Unless this is somehow a consequence of
the fact that the two installations above use the Apache module while
the "mysqlnd installations" that I checked both run PHP as CGI/FastCGI.)

There is a correlated side effect: the non-mysqlnd installations always
return data as strings, whereas the mysqlnd installations return data
with their real type (int, float or string) if emulated prepares are off.

Greetings,
Thomas
