Bug #70967 [NEW]: Weird error handling for __toString when Error is thrown
From: bugs dot php dot net at majkl578 dot cz
Operating system:
PHP version: 7.0.0RC7
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Weird error handling for __toString when Error is thrown
Description:
------------
When an error occurs inside __toString method, for example call to an
undefined function, an Error is thrown. But since __toString does not
allow exceptions to be thrown from inside, it just says "__toString()
must not throw an exception".
This behavior is especially confusing e.g. in case of a typo (see
below).
Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo new class {
function __toString() {
return stravl(123); // should be strval
}
};
Expected result:
----------------
Something more accurate, either the message of the Error itself or at
least better generic message.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Method class@anonymous::__toString() must not throw an
exception
