Cross checking implementations from other languages, empty strings
are always allowed. PHP's output is peculiar due to it's insistence
to encode a trailing \0, but otherwise sensible and does round-trip
as expected.
Return "0000" instead of false to have a consistent return type.
"0000" is already a possible return value if the string doesn't
contain any letters, such as with soundex(" "). We can treat the
case of soundex("") exactly the same.
We missed the change to make this an Error exception in PHP 8,
but at least elevate it to a warning, to avoid a notice -> exception
jump at a later time.
The same error condition is a ValueError in mysqli, be consistent.
Additionally, do not display the argument name for these errors.
As the signatures are overloaded, the argument name may not match
the meaning at all.
The implementation did not check for PQunescapeBytea failure
correctly, because it checked for a null pointer after estrndup,
which certainly cannot happen. Inspection of the PGunescapeBytea
implementation has shown that this function can only fail on OOM,
so let's check for that explicitly and remove false as a possible
return type.
While we're here, avoid an unnecessary copy of the result.
The `zend_system_id` is a (true global) system ID that fingerprints a process state. When extensions add engine hooks during MINIT/startup, entropy is added the system ID for each hook. This allows extensions to identify that changes have been made to the engine since the last PHP process restart.
Closes GH-5871
This is an annoying edge case that regularly gets broken. As we're
not aware of significant users of this API, and there are other
ways to hook this, remove support for EXT_NOP.
Add db2_execute() to the list of functions accessing the local
scope. Ideally the API wouldn't do that, but it seems most
pragmatic to address this on the opcache side at this point.
