Bug #44352 mysqli_connect_error() false negative for host errors
From now on the mysqli object doesn't have that magic properties, like
error, which were readable but not visible through isset(), property_exists()
and var_dump(). All other ext/mysqli classes were fixed too.
Now it will be easier to debug mysqli based applications.
Clearly separated fetching (physical reading) from decoding phases (data
interpretation). Threaded fetching added but disabled as needs more work for
Windows. For Linux needs some touches to add pthreads if this is enabled,
probably with a compile-time switch.
The code reorganisation makes it easy to add also async API, similar to
cURL's one.
Added status to mysqli_resource:
MYSQLI_STATUS_UNKNOWN
MYSQLI_STATUS_CLEARED (for future use)
MYSQLI_STATUS_INITIALIZED (after mysqli_init and mysqli_stmt_init)
MYSQLI_STATUS_VALID (for valid objects)
removed valid flag
changed MYSQLI_FETCH_RESOURCE
added last parameter __check which specifies the status
on 64 bit they differ and zend_parse_parameters makes a *(long*) cast
which means that if the variable is int 4 bytes of the variable(s)
declared before it (on the stack) will be overwritten. In this case
this is the length of the query -> made 0 and mysqli_query() returns
FALSE.
character set was moved to libmysql (4.1 bk tree - will be merged into
5.0 within the next days).
- renamed mysql_set_character_set to mysqli_set_charset
mysqli_driver
mysqli_warning
mysqli_exception
mysqli_sql_exception
Improved embedded server support
changed testsuite to work also with embedded server
Made statement and resultset classes extendable
minor fixes
mysql client lib now uses php_local_infile functions by default, which allows
to use php_fopen_wrapper: e.g. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'http://foo.com/bar.csv' ...
mysql_set_local_infile_handler now only supports a callback function for read.
fixed bug in mysqli_data_seek (thx to Andrey "Effendi" Hristov)
various prototype fixes
moved some methods to properties which are part of mysql struct
added function mysqli_get_server_version
