From: xing at mac dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: can't catch simplexml error
Description: ------------ Cannot catch a simple loading error when using simplexml_load_string() loading an invalid xml string. I understand that that E_WARNING, E_ERROR etc are not exceptions but realisticlly, I expect a loading function to throw an exception when it fails to load a object, not a uncatchable "warning". It also be invalid to say this error class is a "warning" as it is most definitely an error. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php try { $x = simplexml_load_string("adfasdf"); print_r($x); } catch (Exception $e) { echo "toast"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- toast Actual result: -------------- Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in...
