#46601 [NEW]: E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR for "Call to a member function on a non-object"
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.
Reproduce code:
---------------
set_error_handler( create_function('$code','echo "error handler called
($code)\n";') );
$o = NULL;
$o->method();
echo "end of script\n";
Expected result:
----------------
error handler called (4096)
end of script
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function method() on a non-object
