Description:
------------
If you call bindColumn on a non existent column it will always create a warning, no matter how the PDO object is configured to respond to errors (ERRMODE_EXCEPTION, ERRMODE_SILENT, ERRMODE_WARNING).

I actually recreated this on PHP 5.3.1 and PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny8 (from Debian Lenny repository) and have NOT tried it on 5.3.2. Since I was not able to find any references for this bug on the web, I believe I might be the first one to encounter it and it is propably not fixed as of PHP 5.3.2

Test script:
---------------
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=db', 'root', '');
$pdo->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );
$statement = $pdo->prepare('SELECT id FROM aTable');
$statement->execute();

$field= NULL;

try
{
   $statement->bindColumn('none_existent_field', $field, PDO::PARAM_INT);

   while ($statement->fetch( PDO::FETCH_BOUND ))
   {
      echo $field. "<br/>\n";
   }
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
   echo "Database field not in result set!<br/>\n";
}

Expected result:
----------------
The string "Database field not in result set!<br/>\n";

Actual result:
--------------
A warning:
<b>Warning</b>:  PDOStatement::bindColumn() [<a href='pdostatement.bindcolumn'>pdostatement.bindcolumn</a>]: Did not found column name 'none_existent_field' in the defined columns; it will not be bound in <b>/path/to/script.php</b> on line <b>10</b><br />

I looked into 5.3 SVN source code and was able to spot the problem. The following line is causing the Warning:

php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Did not found column name '%s' in the defined columns; it will not be bound", param->name);

I believe it should be replaced by something like the following:
pdo_raise_impl_error(stmt->dbh, stmt, "?????", "Did not found column name in the defined columns; it will not be bound" TSRMLS_CC);

I also believe "Did not found column name" is not proper english and should either be "Did not find column name" or "Column name not found". I also do not know the exact meaning of the error codes used in other pdo_raise_impl_error like "HY093", so an appropriate errorcode for this error should be inserted instead of the question marks.

This code ofcourse resides in /ext/pdo/pdo_stmt.c

After thinking a bit about it I came to the conclusion this might be a feature, not a bug.
If you are handed a PDOStatement from some other source (a library or a callee) you might not know which exact columns are in the result set. Because there also is no way to look them up you are stuck with "brute force" binding each column, that might be in that result set. If this would throw an Exception you would need to try { } catch ( PDOException $e ) { } every single bindColumn.
While I do think this would be the correct approach from a design standpoint it is very clunky and cumbersome actually programming. If this method only issues a warning then you could simply @ supress that warning and try bindColumn on whatever you like. However, if this behaviour remains it should be documentet clearly in the PHP PDO manual, because it is not what you'd expect.
