I thought about it and I have to say I honestly do not know which way would be better. I haven't received any other comments so far. What you are proposing makes sense, but I don't know how to implement this. I am not so experienced with PHP internals so I would require some help to add such an error. The only other comments I have seen so far are from Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/llntv5/php_rfc_mysqli_bind_in_execute/ I could add another voting option for people to decide whether they want the keys to be ignored or if they want an error. I appreciate it if anyone has any other comments about this proposal too. Kind Regards, Kamil
