Req #45767 [Opn->Bgs]: Wording mistake: "Next exception" is "Previous exception" really

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45767&edit=1 ID: 45767 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: david at grudl dot com Summary: Wording mistake: "Next exception" is "Previous exception" really -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.0alpha1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The order is "closest first" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-11 16:04:36] david at grudl dot com This is not only simple wording change, but order change. $e is instance of HighException (!) $e has any inner/previous exception echo $e prints: exception 'LowException' with message ... blah, blah, blah ... ... HighException prints LowException at first line - it is not expectable. Stack traces are printed in reverse order, because it is preferable. Exceptions should be printed in reverse order too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-11 15:18:33] lstrojny@php.net At the end it is just a wording problem. "Next exception" should be "Previous exception" (which makes sense, than the method is called getPrevious()). Simple wording change, accepting it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-11 15:03:57] david at grudl dot com This is not bug, of course, this is feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-10 09:54:40] johannes@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You're assigning an object to a variable, then overwrite the variable with another and then echoing the variable holding the second object... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-10 08:39:32] david at grudl dot com Reproduce code: <?php class LowException extends Exception { } class HighException extends Exception { } $e = new LowException("File not found."); $e = new HighException("Missing configuration.", 0, $e); echo $e; // $e is HighException instance ?> Expected result: ---------------- exception 'HighException' with message 'Missing configuration.' in test.php:13 Stack trace: #0 {main} Previous exception (or "Caused by") 'LowException' with message 'File not found.' in test.php:11 Stack trace: #0 {main} Actual result: --------------- exception 'LowException' with message 'File not found.' in test.php:11 Stack trace: #0 {main} Next exception 'HighException' with message 'Missing configuration.' in test.php:13 Stack trace: #0 {main} Description: ------------ The first (and most appealing) line of textual output begins with "exception 'LowException' with message ...", but the printed exception is 'HighException'. This order makes output less evident. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
