ID: 60211 Comment by: mister dot frb at gmail dot com Reported by: hinikato at gmail dot com Summary: register_shutdown_function() not called in combination with set_error_handler() Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows 7 x64 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Same problem here on PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny13 I could isolate a few interesting things. the bug seems to depend on the error value. set_error_handler('exceptionsHandler', xx ) where xx < 64 (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and the error handler will be called (don't know why though, ...). The shutdown function is called anyway, but always after the custom error handler. i don't why it happens, as hinikato said, the documentation says : "The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: [...] E_COMPILE_ERROR [...]" I can understand why no exception can be raised in the error handler though. I f we are already in a 'shutting down' state, exceptions cannot be raised. also, somehow related, i tried to reproduce the bug with a different error : $undefinedvar->method(); when trying to call a method on a undefined object, 2 errors are raised : a notice for the undefined var and a fatal error for calling a method on a non object. If your error handler treats E_NOTICE, it will be called but won't be able to raise an exception in time. the shutdown function will be called and your script stopped. I think there is room for improvement here. Either the error handler should be called, or the shutdown function, but not both of them, especially if the error handler has broken functionality like the incapacity to raise an exception.

This bug prevents from writing the following code also, because exceptions is not determined for some reason: try { require_once __DIR__ . '/not_existing_file.php'; // file should not exist } catch (\Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); // will not be called! } And this bug prevents from logging fatal errors in our shutdown function if we log them in it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-03 13:10:40] hinikato at gmail dot com Description: ------------ My PHP version is: PHP Version 5.3.8-ZS5.5.0, but this bug exist in the Linux environment also. Checked in Debian with PHP 5.3.8. In the set_error_handler() documentation we have the following quote: "The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING, and most of E_STRICT raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called." According this quote the bug should not occur if specified error types will not be raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called. Let's try to implement such condition. Test script: --------------- -- set_error_handler.php -- <?php $foo = new \Foo\MyErrorHandler(); set_error_handler(array($foo, 'errorHandler')); // we call the set_error_handler() in the other file. set_exception_handler(array($foo, 'exceptionHandler')); register_shutdown_function(array($foo, 'fatalErrorHandler')); ?> -- end of set_error_handler.php -- -- bug -- namespace Foo; class MyErrorHandler { function errorHandler() { echo __METHOD__ . "\n"; throw new \Exception('test'); } function exceptionHandler() { echo __METHOD__ . "\n"; // should be called! } function fatalErrorHandler() { echo __METHOD__ . "\n"; // should be called! } } require_once __DIR__ . '/set_error_handler.php'; require_once __DIR__ . '/not_existing_file.php'; // file should not exist die(); -- end of bug -- Expected result: ---------------- Foo\MyErrorHandler::errorHandler Foo\MyErrorHandler::exceptionHandler Foo\MyErrorHandler::fatalErrorHandler // should be called at least! Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'X:\home\localhost\www/not_existing_file.php' (include_path='D:\system\home\projects\myak\www\includes') in X:\home\localhost\www\test.php on line 28 Actual result: -------------- Foo\MyErrorHandler::errorHandler Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'X:\home\localhost\www/not_existing_file.php' (include_path='D:\system\home\projects\myak\www\includes') in X:\home\localhost\www\test.php on line 28 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60211&edit=1
