From: plcplc at gmail dot com Operating system: Debian Linux PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem Bug description: E_FATAL, E_ERROR should result in HTTP 500
Description: ------------ Currently PHP doesn't tamper with the HTTP error code at all. It would be nice if errors could trigger the 500 Internal Server Error, because it seems semantically correct. Also, it would enable programs parsing output (e.g. an AJAX client) to easily identify failure on the server, rather than starting to parse the output to find an error suddenly occuring in the output. The XMLHttpRequest function commonly used today actually supports calling a user designated function upon HTTP-response codes different from the usual 200 OK, which is why it would be nice to have PHP actually report the error. Of course, it's not possible to change the header once the headers have been sent, but in many cases they haven't. Reproduce code: --------------- foo(); // call an undefined function Expected result: ---------------- HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Actual result: -------------- HTTP1/1 200 OK -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46510&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46510&r=mysqlcfg
