$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.$HOST.';dbname='.$NAME, $USER, $PASS,
array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING));

The above is supposed to set PDO to E_WARNING instead of PDO exception.
Yet it throws exception.

I know it is possible to do:

$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING);

but this works only if connection has been established in the first place. 
What if there is a connection error - then you are forced to handle 
exceptions with try/catch block...

The same applies to PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT

Any solutions to setting error mode before connecting or is this a stupid 
bug?
