Retrieve (or simulate) full query from PDO prepared statement

I believe this is mentioned in the original question that was reference in this one. However there is actually supposed to be a method for retrieving this data.

PDOStatement::debugDumpParams

However it isn't currently working as documented. There is a bug report and patch submitted for it here http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52384 in case anyone is interested in voting on it. Until it's fixed it seems like you are left to use query logging or setting a custom statement class using the PDO::ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS attribute.

Afaik, PDO doesn't really expose it to you. On development servers, you could enable the general query log for MySQL (if that's what you use), with possibly more control with sql_log_off, which does require the SUPER privilege.
