Having trouble creating PDO object

[garrettw]

For a job interview today, I had to try to make a Twitter clone, getting as far as I could in 8 hours. Aside from the fact that I should have chosen Laravel instead of doing it from scratch, and thus I didn't get nearly far enough... I ran into a problem near the end where I couldn't get an instance of PDO going with Dice.

Here's the relevant config:
https://github.com/garrettw/screamer/blob/main/dic-config.php#L39

The problem I was running into was that somehow, the PDO constructor was being sent 5 params: my 3 followed by two NULLs -- so it was complaining that it could only take 4 params. I tried to work around it in a few ways but I didn't get any different outcome.

Can you see anything I might be doing wrong in the config? Or is this an actual bug?

I've just tested this and it is an actual bug, it looks like it was introduced when scalar type hints were added. Multiple variables of the same type would be counted twice when there were also matching values of those types in constructParams this should now be fixed. I hope this didn't impact your chances of getting the job.

Truthfully I don't think it did. Even if PDO had been working, I still didn't get far enough in 8 hours to show them the things they were really looking for, due to my choosing to roll my own framework. Thanks for the fix - I'll try it out.
