It's a BIG BIG Problem to find the reason why your application doesn't work when there's NO indication that a implemented php-function does NOT what it should do, without trowing any error!

Thats what happened as I tried to move back from 4.0.6 to 4.0.5 due to a BIG bug in the memory-management of 4.0.6:

for 4.0.6 I replaced mysql_query with mysql_unbuffered_query in one function. There was no Prob with that in 4.0.6...but after I had 4.0.5 back again my app didn't work anymore without giving any indication of the reason.

It would be great if the php-developers could provide a bit more error-messages for instance when mysql_unbuffered_query works only for SELECT's, not for INSERT's, why not throw a WARNING or ERROR if you try to use the wrong query.

this would avoid Days of debugging!

Thanks for the info. But we won't release a bugfixed version of 4.0.5. Developers try hard but sometimes everyone makes a mistake.

Btw, if you still have memory management problems with 4.0.6 give it a try with latest RC

http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz

Not really a bug anymore, bogus.
