Bug #68270 [NEW]: Exception from finally block has exception from try block magically injected

From: dan dot lugg at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 7 x64 PHP version: 5.5.18 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Exception from finally block has exception from try block magically injected Description: ------------ When an exception is thrown from a finally block, if an exception has been thrown from the finally's corresponding try block, the finally-thrown exception magically has the try-thrown exception assigned as it's $previous. Test script: --------------- <?php try { try { throw new Exception('Foo'); } finally { throw new Exception('Bar'); } } catch(Exception $exception) { var_dump($exception); } Expected result: ---------------- Not certain, but I'd guess the finally-thrown exception should bubble, while the try-thrown exception is swallowed? Perhaps a different outcome, but what occurs is both unexpected and undocumented. Actual result: -------------- object(Exception)#2 (7) { ["message":protected]=> string(3) "Bar" ["string":"Exception":private]=> string(0) "" ["code":protected]=> int(0) ["file":protected]=> string(9) "/in/9DMoe" ["line":protected]=> int(8) ["trace":"Exception":private]=> array(0) { } ["previous":"Exception":private]=> <-- How is this here? object(Exception)#1 (7) { ["message":protected]=> string(3) "Foo" ["string":"Exception":private]=> string(0) "" ["code":protected]=> int(0) ["file":protected]=> string(9) "/in/9DMoe" ["line":protected]=> int(5) ["trace":"Exception":private]=> array(0) { } ["previous":"Exception":private]=> NULL } } -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68270&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68270&r=mysqlcfg
