Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-06 15:07:57] fabien dot potencier at symfony-project dot org I have just tested with php5.3-201004061030, and the problem is not fixed. The output is indeed better, as the line is not 0 anymore: Call to a member function call() on a non-object in ... on line 9 instead of: Call to a member function call() on a non-object in ... on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-06 14:31:45] johan...@php.net bug #51463 might be related, stas also worked on a similar bug where I don't find the commit or bug id right now. Could you pleasetest the latest snapshot, maybe this was fixed. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-06 13:56:59] fabien dot potencier at symfony-project dot org Description: ------------ When throwing an exception from a custom error handler, PHP sometimes dies with a non-obvious error as the actual problem is hidden. To reproduce, create a simple set_error_handler() and throw an exception (ErrorException here) whenever an error occur (with error_reporting set to -1 for instance). If you try to output a not-defined variable, you will see the Exception. But, if you call a method on a not-defined variable, the exception is not thrown, and an error message is displayed instead. Debugging is not trivial as the real problem is masked. Test script: --------------- set_error_handler(function ($level, $message, $file, $line, $context) { throw new \ErrorException($message); }); // will throw an Exception (Undefined variable: foo) // echo $foo; // will not throw the exception, PHP will try to call bar() instead $foo->bar(); Expected result: ---------------- PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined variable: foo' in ..:.. Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function bar() on a non-object in ... on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51487&edit=1
