#43743 [NEW]: Unicode Error Mode That Throws Exceptions On Error

From: geoffers at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 6CVS-2008-01-03 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Unicode Error Mode That Throws Exceptions On Error Description: ------------ It would be useful to have a unicode error mode that threw exceptions on an error: this would make it possible to have different behaviour an error. Currently all that is possible is creating a custom error handler and acting differently depending on what the error string is: can an error string really be relied upon to never change? I doubt it. What practical use, though? Most obviously, checking if a string is valid under a certain encoding. This is needed when processing real- world XML data, due to the vast amount sent with the wrong encoding. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43743&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43743&r=mysqlcfg
