Description: ------------ _getServerCapabilities() in the MySQLi driver should be run once per new object (connection). Instead, it is only run once total. Extra connections therefore don't have proper capabilities discovery. Test script: --------------- <? include("MDB2.php"); //to test, replace this with a valid DSN for //a mysql server supporting prepared queries $dsn="mysqli://test:@localhost/test"; $db=MDB2::factory($dsn,array('portability'=>'MDB2_PORTABILITY_NONE')); //need to do some query to make it actually check server $db->query("SET time_zone = '+0:00'"); echo "Prepared? {$db->supported['prepared_statements']}\n"; //reconnect - same server, so capabilities shoud be the same $db2=MDB2::factory($dsn,array('portability'=>'MDB2_PORTABILITY_NONE')); $db2->query("SET time_zone = '+0:00'"); echo "Prepared? {$db2->supported['prepared_statements']}\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Prepared? 1 Prepared? 1 Actual result: -------------- Prepared? 1 Prepared? emulated

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
