PHP expect __debugInfo to return an array but it is impossible because of the exception. Test script: --------------- <?php class Debug { public function __debugInfo() { throw new Exception("Test Crash"); } } try { var_dump(new Debug()); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } Expected result: ---------------- > "Test Crash" Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: Uncaught Exception: Test Crash in .../BugDebugInfo.php:7 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: Debug->__debugInfo() #1 .../BugDebugInfo.php(12): var_dump(Object(Debug)) #2 {main} thrown in .../BugDebugInfo.php on line 7 PHP Fatal error: __debuginfo() must return an array in .../BugDebugInfo.php on line 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73067&edit=1
