mysqli_change_user does not allow to use NULL for $database param

Description

According to the documentation, the third parameter in mysqli_change_user is nullable (not optional though) and passing NULL should connect to the same database.

If desired, the null value may be passed resulting in only changing the user and not selecting a database. To select a database in this case use the mysqli_select_db() function.

But to my knowledge this was never possible and is still not supported by mysqli. This code will reset database to NULL

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
$mysqli->change_user("my_user", "my_password", null);
var_dump($mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")->fetch_row()[0]);

Resulted in this output:

NULL

But I expected this output instead:

string(4) "test"

No response

Commencez par le point d’entrée mysqli_change_user et comparez le comportement documenté de NULL avec la reproduction PHP fournie. Le travail est terminé lorsque le passage de NULL conserve la sélection de base de données existante et que la reproduction confirme que SELECT DATABASE() renvoie toujours "test".
