Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-05 23:45:07] jani@php.net Compared to what version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-05 23:12:59] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Description: ------------ The scope of $php_errormsg has changed in 5.3. It is no longer available inside functions. Perhaps this is intentional, perhaps not. If it is intentional, I encourage the decision be changed to improve compatibility between versions. If it won't be changed, we need to update the 5.3 upgrade guide at http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53. Reproduce code: --------------- if (!@substr('no 2nd parameter')) { echo '$php_errormsg in global: ' . $php_errormsg . "\n"; } function foo() { if (!@substr('no 2nd parameter')) { echo '$php_errormsg in function: ' . $php_errormsg . "\n"; echo '$GLOBALS[php_errormsg] in function: ' . $GLOBALS['php_errormsg'] . "\n"; } } foo(); Expected result: ---------------- $php_errormsg in global: substr() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given $php_errormsg in function: substr() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given $GLOBALS[php_errormsg] in function: substr() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given Actual result: -------------- $php_errormsg in global: substr() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given Notice: Undefined variable: php_errormsg in D:\webroot\ideasphp\Atest.html on line 10 $php_errormsg in function: $GLOBALS[php_errormsg] in function: substr() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47320&edit=1
