Without looking into this too far, have you verified that
error_reporting/display_errors are set to levels that are sufficient to display
or
record this error?

Description:
------------
In PHP 5.3.10 and PostgreSQL 9.1, when executing PDOStatement::fetchAll(), if
the retrieved data busts the PHP memory limit, the script dies quietly, without
throwing an "out of memory" error.
Test script:
---------------
//ini_set('memory_limit','256M');
$dsn=;//appropriate Data Source Name string
$sql=;//any query that returns slightly more data than the PHP memory limit
allows (default limit is 128 MB on my server)
$db=new PDO($dsn);
$result=$db->query($sql);
$datarray=$result->fetchAll();//fetch all rows into an array
Expected result:
----------------
When fetchAll() retrieves too much data, the script dies quietly, instead of
throwing an "out of memory" error.
When I uncomment the first line, the script runs to completion, thus proving
that the quiet death was due to lack of memory.
The problem seems to relate to the postgresql driver, as the same thing happens
when I use pg_connect/pg_query/pg_fetch_all instead of PDO to get data from the
same query.
This is the only PHP "out of memory" condition I've ever seen where no error is
thrown.
