Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75675&edit=1 ID: 75675 Comment by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Reported by: fabien dot papet at gmail dot com Summary: Uncatchable Fatal error Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.1.12 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: this is *not* a general issue - it's the SOAP extension i reported that more than a year ago - it's hard to understand why this behvaior don't get fixed at all because you can't write any sane code based on SOAP requests where it's naturally that the remote side may not be reachable and you can't handle errors at all the way it works currently https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73451 [2017-04-08 10:36 UTC] nikic@php.net Looks like fatal erros in SOAP were for some reason not part of https://wiki.php.net/rfc/throw_error_in_extensions -- probably because SOAP uses non-standard macros to generate them.
