Bug #75586 [Opn->Fbk]: WSDL parsing issue throws a fatal error instead of a SOAPFault exception

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75586&edit=1 ID: 75586 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: ryan dot jentzsch at gmail dot com Summary: WSDL parsing issue throws a fatal error instead of a SOAPFault exception -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: Linux Mint 18.3 PHP Version: 7.1.12 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I can't reproduce this issue: The exception object is successfully dumped. Please check whether your code works under php -n, and if it does, try to identify which extension is responsible for the behavior. My guess would be that the xdebug error handler interferes here.

With PHP 7 try...catch(\Throwable $t) being a convenient method of adding fault tolerance and graceful degradation -- it is therefore very frustrating when a WSDL PARSE issue is encountered that an UNCATCHABLE script exiting fatal error is issued.

PHP_EOL; } catch (\Throwable $t) { var_dump($t); } } } $client = new SoapAgent('bogus'); Expected result: ---------------- var_dump() of the Throwable object. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'bogus' : failed to load external entity "bogus" Process finished with exit code 255 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75586&edit=1
