Description:
------------
This is only relevant on the newer versions of mysql/mariaDB that support microsecond precision on timestamp columns.

minimum Mysql version: 5.6.4
minimum MariaDB version: 5.3

When the PDO attribute ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES is false, any microseconds are dropped from timestamp columns.

I'm using:

MariaDB v10.0.10: mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.10-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1

PHP 5.5.11-3+deb.sury.org~precise+1 (cli) (built: Apr 23 2014 12:23:08)
(also tested on PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4 (cli) (built: Apr  9 2014 17:11:57))

mysqlnd v5.0.11-dev

Test script:
---------------
https://gist.github.com/sndsgd/11234272

Expected result:
----------------
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = true:
2014-04-23 08:45:36.022588
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = false:
2014-04-23 08:45:36.022588

Actual result:
--------------
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = true:
2014-04-23 08:45:36.022588
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES = false:
2014-04-23 08:45:36

Any updates on this? I can confirm that it still exists as of 7.1.5

Can anybody elaborate if this is really a problem with PDO itself, or, rather, is the cause the underlying mysqlnd (that is still 5.0.12-dev from 2015)?

This is indeed a problem with PDO; when using mysqli, the issue is not apparent.

I've found possible solution: https://github.com/andrewmackrodt/php-pdo-fractional-bug/pull/1/commits/50552212b77b1b1021918ba98f45b1866b0fb057

Thanks for the follow up, it was very useful.

It is apparent that, regardless I did not get the error with mysqli, it is not a bug with PDO per se but instead the prepared statement handler in mysqlnd.
(That shall mean it would have had happened with mysqli as well had I used prepared statements.)

I try and open a bug with them then.

(No wonder I did not find anything in the PDO sources. :P)

Created a new, more appropriate bug here

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76386

and commented a lot there.

The solution proposed here does not work as it has been written for a fixed precision of 6, whilst MySQL supports any precision between 0-6.

I also created a proper fix and sent a pull request that did not make any tests fail.
See here:

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3257

I am unsure when it will be merged and into which release though (even though it is 100% backwards compatible).
