wiki username: danielbeardsley === Background I was told to introduce myself. I've been in software development for more than 20 years and have been working with php for 10 or so of that. I've only had a little contact with this group, but I've got at least one past pull merged on the php-src repo: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/271. At iFixit we use a forked version of php with a small change to allow automatically html-escaping echoed strings: https://github.com/iFixit/php-src/commit/cb6eb5c35a07c843e5b357884186d77e3a1a2981 . It's not something this list would be interested in as it's rather special-purpose, but I'm mentioning it to show I'm somewhat familiar with the php build system.
=== Why I'm emailing now: I've opened a pull request on php-src: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6677 and I've been advised to make an RFC. The first step is emailing! I'd like to propose adding a function to the mysql pdo driver (in the same way postgres and sqlite have) to extract the count of warnings from the last executed statement. See the pull request linked above for a more thorough description. Should I make an RFC out of this? Thanks for your time! Daniel Beardsley
