So I’ve been getting very heavily into QA here in my new job at Beatport. As a result I’ve been doing alot of work with PHPUnit and I came across two problems one same and one large. The first was that the very useful iniSet function that will let you change an PHP setting like error_reporting and then restore it for you after the test has run. The problem I has was it required the value to be a string, which while not a show stopper was a pain. So I was very excited in a very nerdy way when my suggestion was implemented in the code and made it into a release.

The next problem was a biggie as far as I can tell the DBUnit port into PHPUnit know as the Database extension doesn’t support MySql 4. I outlined the problem in a ticket and also posted a patch that will get everything working for MySql 4 and 5.

Mike Lively the creator and maintainer of the DBUnit port it yet to take any visible action as of yet. And as I used to work with Mike I may have to drop him a line to get his opinion.

I’d love to hear from anyone else who is also having this problem with MySql 4.
