Bug #74032 [Opn->Nab]: The code should throw a DEPRECATED message and it doesn't

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74032&edit=1 ID: 74032 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: roma dot chikunov at gmail dot com Summary: The code should throw a DEPRECATED message and it doesn't -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Xubuntu PHP Version: 7.0.15 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > Question is - why it doesn't work without eval? As nikic has explained, error_reporting() and ini_set() can't catch compile time errors. Set the appropriate directives in php.ini during development. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-02 13:07:49] roma dot chikunov at gmail dot com eval() worked! Question is - why it doesn't work without eval? Obviously, no developer will insert their classes into eval to check for a deprecated error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-02 12:58:30] nikic@php.net This deprecation is generated at compile-time, while error_reporting() and ini_set() are called at run-time. Try wrapping the class declaration in an eval() to see if that's the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-02 12:46:31] roma dot chikunov at gmail dot com Thanks for the prompt response! I am logging to to the default apache error.log file. As far as I know, error_reporting(-1) should log everything. Just out of curiosity I have checked other deprecated stuff and it worked for me (specifically options in password_hash()), hence I don't think there's an issue with the logging. Anyhow, I have also added ini_set('display_errors', '1'); to the code and there's no difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-02 12:34:19] requinix@php.net Works for me. https://3v4l.org/p0K0l Do you have display_errors on? Maybe you're logging errors to a file? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-02 12:23:36] roma dot chikunov at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/migration70.deprecated --- In the manual page it is written that PHP 4 constructor is deprecated, therefore an error should be logged of PHP DEPRECATED, unfortunately it doesn't happen. The sample code is taken as is (except for the error_reporting method) from the documentation. Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(-1); class foo { function foo() { echo 'I am the constructor'; } } $obj = new foo(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The expected result is for an error to be logged for using a deprecated constructor. Actual result: -------------- Works like a charm without any error \ warning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74032&edit=1
