Bug #75586 [ReO]: 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 User updated by: ryan dot jentzsch at gmail dot com Reported by: ryan dot jentzsch at gmail dot com Summary: WSDL parsing issue throws a fatal error instead of a SOAPFault exception Status: Re-Opened Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: Linux Mint 18.3 PHP Version: 7.1.18 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: nikic@php.net you are correct that it is similar. I just ran the phpt test and this fix is in place and works (if SoapClient is not extended). If the SoapClient class is extended with a try...catch in the __constructor() the point of failure is at parent::__construct('bogus); Forcing other throwables will actually get caught. It is the parent::__construct() where the try...catch is short circuited. I traced the C code down for this a while ago. Internally PHP is calling some XML loading/handling utility modules. These have zend_bail() logic in them that is causing PHP to commit suicide.

Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-28 21:41:42] nikic@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-28 21:33:04] ryan dot jentzsch at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Subclassing the SoapClient class and wrapping the call to the parent constructor will throw a fatal error even when wrapped in a try...catch(\Throwable $t). 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
