#47887 [NEW]: Permit custom error types with trigger_error()

From: aragon at phat dot za dot net Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Permit custom error types with trigger_error() Description: ------------ It would be useful if trigger_error would accept custom error types. Although I can do this with Exceptions, I can't see a way of sending variable context from where an exception is thrown to the exception handler, and loosing variable context would be a deal breaker. Reproduce code: --------------- define('E_CUSTOM_1', -1); define('E_CUSTOM_2', -2); function error_handler ($errno, $errmsg, $scriptname, $scriptline, $errcontext) { if ($errno == E_CUSTOM_1) die('custom error type'); } set_error_handler('error_handler'); trigger_user('message', E_CUSTOM_1); Expected result: ---------------- custom error type Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: Invalid error type specified in - on line 7 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47887&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47887&r=mysqlcfg
