Req #72572 [NEW]: Error Reporting on Text-based Web Server

From: David at Refoua dot me Operating system: Any PHP version: 7.0.8 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Error Reporting on Text-based Web Server Description: ------------ When PHP is used with internal error reporting mechanism, PHP will determine if the error message is printed on a command-line interface, or a Web Server (i.e. cgi). All CLI messages are outputted using the text-only format. However, this only is desired if the Web Server is only returning a HTML file. PHP should determine the current header, and if Content-Type is set to text/plain, or text/*, or anything that a current modern browser would not interpret as a HTML document, any content produced by HTML should be formatted for a text-only output. Therefore, PHP's own error reporting should output the same way CLI does, when the header's Content-Type is set to text/plain with PHP. Test script: --------------- NOTE: This script is called with cgi from a web server, and not from cli. <?php header("Content-Type: text/plain"); abcd(); // An undefined function to produce error ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function abcd() in -:1 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in - on line 1 Actual result: -------------- <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function abcd() in -:1 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in <b>-</b> on line <b>1</b><br /> -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72572&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72572&r=mysqlcfg
