[Mediawiki-l] Re: 1.5.2 problems with MySQL 5.0.16?

[Jan Steinman]

One thing I discovered on one of my other sites is how TIMESTAMP  
values are returned.

Under MySQL 4.0.16, they were returned as "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS", under  
MySQL 5.0.16, it's "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS". (Thanks, guys.)-:

At least this is different between the two when you mysql_fetch_array 
() TIMESTAMP values, because I write the result unadorned to a  
preferences file for another website client, and it normally goes out  
as an integer, which is read back in like "$Updated =  
20051213210957;" but totally screws up when it tries to read back in  
"$Updated = 2005-12-13 21:09:57;"

Do those of you who leap tall buildings with a single bound and  
instantly grok stack dumps see how this particular gotcha could be  
causing my stack dump?
