Description:
------------
There is no way to escape semicolon in dsn to be treated like a char, not as a separator.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
 $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=t\\;', 'user', 'pass');
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Successfully established connection

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000] [1049] Unknown database 't\'' in ./index.php:1
Stack trace:
#0 ./index.php(1): PDO->__construct('mysql:host=loca...', 'user', 'pass')
#1 {main}
  thrown in ./index.php on line 1

Why do you don't go to see if I'm on the corner?
This bug is not a bug! Who does make a database with ";" chars?
You are a really loser.

This is by no means a proper way to provide feedback to a bug report, even if the user's claim is wrong. Next time remember this is not a humor site ;-)

Yes, I'm terribly sorry.

To be more on-topic then, afaik SQLite doesn't even allow ';' as part of either database or table name, so I was under the impression mysql wasn't either.

Verified on 5.2.6-1+lenny3

Problem seems to lie somewhere in ext/pdo/pdo_dbh.c in dbh_constructor fwiw.
