While shutdown_function is called, one cannot handle framework shutdown, responses, and logging in an appropriate manner. E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR should be catchable by a catch( Throwable $t) or catch(ERROR $e), and finally blocks _must_ be executed. Test script: --------------- <?php $x = new stdClass(); try { echo $x; } catch (Throwable $t) { echo "Yeah, we couldn't convert that to a string. Log error and respond to client's request"; echo $t->__toString(); } finally { echo "Seriously? I must be wrong"; } Expected result: ---------------- Something like: Yeah, we couldn't convert that to a string. Log error and respond to client's request. E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string Seriously? I must be wrong Actual result: -------------- PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /tmp/foo.php on line 5 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /tmp/foo.php:0 Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /tmp/foo.php on line 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75954&edit=1
