Bug #66216 [Opn->Ver]: Uncaught exception when using set_error_handler

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66216&edit=1 ID: 66216 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: bastiaan at basenlily dot me Summary: Uncaught exception when using set_error_handler -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.5.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I can reproduce the described behavior (as of PHP 5.3.18 respectively 5.4.8), see <https://3v4l.org/U9bu8>. Interestingly, silencing the require statement results in no message at all, see <https://3v4l.org/N42dN>. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-23 11:10:07] theseer@php.net There seem to be more problems with internally generated errors, as the following testcase demonstrates: <?php set_exception_handler( function(Exception $e){ echo "-- handler --\n"; var_dump($e); exit(1); } ); set_error_handler( function($severity, $message, $file, $line) { throw new ErrorException($message, 0, $severity, $file, $line); } ); try { require 'non-existing-file.php'; } catch (\Exception $e) { echo "-- catch --\n"; var_dump($e); exit(2); } Expected result: Either a "classical" Fatal Error should occur or the warning for the missing file should be converted into an exception which in turn should be caught by catch() or at least by the global exception handler.

Should have ran it. That said, corrected the typo and it is still behaving exactly the same: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Hello world' in /Projects/web/test/bug.php on line 3 So far I've tested this on a machine running Mac OS X 10.8.6 and one running Windows (2012 server I think). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-02 08:11:04] laruence@php.net there is a typo in your example: should be: echo $e->getMessage(); after fixed that, I can not reproduce the bug you were describing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-02 06:51:36] bastiaan at basenlily dot me Description: ------------ I've used set_error_handler to create an error handler that throws an exception when a scripting error happens as described here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.errorexception.php Even though I've got my commands in a try/catch block I'm getting an uncaught exception error. Works fine in 5.4, breaks on 5.6 Test script: --------------- function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) { throw new Exception('Hello world'); } set_error_handler("exception_error_handler"); try { // try loading a file that does not have exif data: $results = @exif_read_data('test.txt', 0, true); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e-> getMessage; // "We never get here..." }; Expected result: ---------------- Expect the echo to output our error instead of raising an uncaught exception error Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Hello world' in /Projects/test.php on line 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66216&edit=1
