Bug #69841 [NEW]: Feature: Catchable "call to a member function of a non-object" is not working

From: davelhs03 at yahoo dot com Operating system: Windows 7 PHP version: 7.0.0alpha1 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Feature: Catchable "call to a member function of a non-object" is not working Description: ------------ In the RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/catchable-call-to-member-of-non-object) set_error_handler was suppose to catch calls to methods on a non-object. I'm not experiencing that when I use PHP7 Alpha1 (http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.0.0alpha1-nts-Win32-VC14-x86.zip) on Windows 7. I tried it on the command line and via the built in web server. I can catch the exception if I do a try and catch (EngineException $e) block, but not with the error handler. //This Works: $x= null; try{ var_dump($x->method()); } catch (EngineException $e) { echo 'caught the exception'; } Test script: --------------- set_error_handler(function($code, $message) { var_dump($code, $message); }); $x= null; var_dump($x->method()); echo "Alive\n"; Expected result: ---------------- int(4096) string(50) "Call to a member function method() on a non-object" NULL Alive Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught EngineException: Call to a member function method() on nul l in C:\PHP7\scripts\test.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\PHP7\scripts\test.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69841&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69841&r=mysqlcfg
