#49296 [Bgs]: spl_autoload throws an exception instead of fatal error

ID: 49296 User updated by: christopheb156 at hotmail dot com Reported By: christopheb156 at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: xp PHP Version: 5.2SVN-2009-08-19 (snap) New Comment: aah okay but was wondering why in phpt bug38325.phpt it returns a fatal error, looking at the source it says: /* For internal errors, we generate E_ERROR, for direct calls an *exception is thrown. The "scope" is determined by an opcode, if it is *ZEND_FETCH_CLASS we know function was called indirectly by the Zend *engine. */ so class_exist would result in an indirect call to spl_autoload?

For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. We're dealing with OOP here, exceptions feels like the natural way to report/handle such errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-19 13:54:06] christopheb156 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ spl_autoload should produce a fatal error when called indirectly, internal errors should generate E_ERROR, however in spl_autoload_001.phpt a call to class_exists throws an exception. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php spl_autoload_register(); try { var_dump(class_exists("TestClass", true)); } catch(Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage() . "\n"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal Error.... Actual result: -------------- Class TestClass could not be loaded ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49296&edit=1
