ID: 61767 User updated by: shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Reported by: shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Summary: Shutdown functions not called in certain error situation Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Win7 PHP Version: 5.4.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Allow me to re-specify the expected result: ---------- Error handler called Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined variable: undefined' in C:\Dokumenty\localhost\base\test_case1.php:14 Stack trace: #0 _example_(14): {closure}(8, 'Undefined varia...', 'C:\Dokumenty\lo...', 14, Array) #1 {main} thrown in C:\Dokumenty\localhost\base\test_case1.php on line 14 Shutting down Array ( [type] => 1 [message] => Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined variable: undefined' in _example_:14 Stack trace: ... [file] => _example_ [line] => 14 ) ------ This is because the error_handler gets actually called for the E_NOTICE - so an exception should be thrown (and later uncaught in the example). But the exception gets *eaten* as I described. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-04-18 18:39:02] shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ I am using register_shutdown_function() toghether with error_get_last() and set_error_handler() to "handle" fatal errors (to display message in debug screen etc, details do not matter). Everything works perfectly except for one specific scenario - If there is an error caused by calling a method on UNDEFINED (really undefined, not null etc) variable, then the following happens (NOT OK, UNEXPECTED): 1. registered error_handler is invoked for E_NOTICE (undefined variable) 2. the error_handler throws an ErrorException 3. the exception gets *eaten* by something, it never makes it out of the error_handler 4. PHP exits with FATAL error (Call to a member function foo() on a non-object) 5. No shutdown functions get called ---- If the variable is not UNDEFINED but just not an object (e.g. null), everything happens as follows (ALL OK, EXPECTED): 1. PHP exits with FATAL error (Call to a member function foo() on a non-object) 2. Registered shutdown functions are called ---- If I return TRUE from the error_handler, following happens (OK, BUT NOT ACCEPTABLE): 1. registered error_handler is invoked for E_NOTICE (undefined variable) 2. the error_handler returns TRUE 3. PHP exits with FATAL error (Call to a member function foo() on a non-object) 4. Registered shutdown functions are called Test script: --------------- set_error_handler(function($code, $msg, $file = null, $line = null) { echo "Error handler called\n"; throw new \ErrorException($msg, $code, 0, $file, $line); }); register_shutdown_function(function(){ echo "Shutting down\n"; print_r(error_get_last()); }); // $undefined = null; // defined variable does not cause problems $undefined->foo(); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Call to a member function foo() on a non-object in _example_ on line 14 Shutting down Array ( [type] => 1 [message] => Call to a member function foo() on a non-object [file] => _example_ [line] => 14 ) Actual result: -------------- Error handler called Fatal error: Call to a member function foo() on a non-object in _example_ on line 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61767&edit=1
