FAQ
Hi all,

pg_unescape_bytea() should raise error for invalid inputs
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65165

We need to discuss if E_WARING is proper, which branch should be
changed.

It will not break working code, so I would like to use E_WARNING and
change it from PHP 5.4.

Any comments?

Regards,

    Hi Yasuo,

    Raising an E_WARNING will most likely mean that it needs to be
    suppressed in some way, which I think is not necessary.

    I'm all for returning false when the input is invalid. However, given
    the behaviour change, I suppose it would be PHP 5.next material.


    Cheers

    If pg_unecape_bytea() returns FALSE, it means there is obvious bug
    or some kind of attack.

    Users should be prepared for unexpected errors not only pg_escape_bytea()
    but also many other functions anyway.

    It does not hart any application, so it's good to have 5.5. IMHO.
