From: bugs dot php dot net-V29nHf1_z-nsp at cvogt dot org Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR for "Call to a member function on a non-object"
Description: ------------ Calling a method on a non-object results in a non catchable fatal error, that cannot be handled by an error_handler. It would be great if it would be a catchable fatal error instead. This would e.g. make possible to send an e-mail to the developers in case of such an error. When using object-orientation heavily, a program bug can easily result in an uninitialized or wrongly initialized variable, currently leading to a fatal error. Being able to handle this error case would be a great improvement for quality control. I hope the implementation of PHP allows such a change. This request is similar to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40587 . In case this request is rejected, please attach a short reason.
