Subject: Inconsistancy in PDO dsn
From: kevin@oceania.net (Kevin Waterson)

Not a bug, but inconsistant behavior in PDO when calling
$dsn = new PDO("sqlite: dbname.sdb");

The space after the colon _should_ be encoded but if not it fails and 
needs correctly to read
$dsn = new PDO("sqlite:dbname.sdb");

Pierre pointed to a user note in the manual  http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo.php

Watch out for putting spaces in the DSN
mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test works
mysql: host = localhost; dbname=test works
mysql: host = localhost; dbname = test doesn't work...

Here we see the inconsistancy at work.
perhaps E_STRICT would be a better way to handle this perhaps
some other. 

Kind regards
Kevin
