[Bug 660227] Re: php5-pgsql crash on getting an error back from postgres

[Clint Byrum]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: php5
  
  A connect failure in pg_connect() or an error in pg_query() will result
  in php exiting after printing a WARNING instead of continuing execution.
  
  I have attached a test script that tries to connect to a non-existent DB
  - on Debian Lenny prints an error correctly:
  
  $ php test.php
  Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: database "mary" does not exist in /home/mattc/test.php on line 3
  Connection Failure
  
- 
  But on Maverick simply dies after the pg_connect() failure - note that
  "Connection Failure" is not printed:
  
- $ php test.php 
+ $ php test.php
  Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL:  database "mary" does not exist
-  in /home/mattc/test.php on line 3
- 
+  in /home/mattc/test.php on line 3
  
  This looks like a related upstream bug:

+ === Stable Release Update (SRU) information ===
+ 
+ IMPACT
+ 
+ The patch being removed does not fix any reproducible problem, so it
+ really should not have been added in the first place.
+ 
+ DEV BRANCH
+ 
+ Natty is not open yet.
+ 
+ PATCH
+ 
+ See associated merge proposal
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 
+ The php script labeled "Test script" attached to this bug reproduces the
+ problem exactly. If the string "Connection Failure" is not seen after
+ running it, the bug is present.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL
+ 
+ If we did fix the pgsql segfaulting problem reported in
+ 
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/607646
+ 
+ It will return. However, that bug was never actually confirmed by users,
+ and so I think the potential is "VERY LOW"
