Sure. It's just a matter of altering the logic (just a
oneliner).
The problem, with the current implementation you _can't_ work
this around from PHP side. Only with different database users
which is, IMHO, not the right solution. PHP traps traps you
into this and its not hard to fix and has no BC issues at
all.
I already received mail that its "stupid to add a new param
to the Function." and that "its better that PHP detects this
problem self."
I don't see such a problem with an optional parameter.
And, I don't think its possible for PHP to do magic and
detect itself what to do.
I wonder what others think?
