I see. Certainly, it seems necessary to consider the silent mode of other extensions enough. Agree. This was originally a proposal to solve the situation where PDO's error mode behavior was not well maintained. There are problems such as warnings being displayed even in silent mode, and correct information not being obtained using PDO::errorInfo. It seems like a good option would be to keep all silent modes and deprecate warning mode in 8.4 and remove it in 9.x. And it seems good to fix PDO's silent mode bug in 8.4. What do you think?
