#20072 [Com]: set_error_handler doesn't accept Class::function()

ID: 20072 Comment by: mark@tapinternet.com Reported By: mark@tapinternet.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: mandrake-9 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I don't think this is fully functional. Correct me if I'm wrong but an error handler of "Class::function" and "function" should not function any different if they are the same code. Use the code below, and uncomment each of the two set_error_handler() calls differnetly. You will see that the plain function captures the error, while the Class::function does not. <? class ErrorClass { function _errorHandler ($level, $message, $file, $line, $context) { static $count; print "\n\n got ".++$count." errors\n\n $message \n\n"; } } function _errorHandler ($level, $message, $file, $line, $context) { static $count; print "\n\n got ".++$count." errors\n\n $message \n\n"; } //test code error_reporting (E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING | E_USER_NOTICE); //set_error_handler('_errorHandler'); //set_error_handler(array("ErrorClass","_errorHandler")); while( list($k,$v) = each($notarray) ) { //... } ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-24 15:17:23] hholzgra@php.net the syntax for class method callbacks is set_error_handler(array("ErrorClass","handler")) although i like your idea of how it could look like moved to feature requests ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-24 14:17:20] mark@tapinternet.com set_error_handler() does not accept static class functions as a custom error handling function. set_error_handler('ErrorClass::handler') will not report false if called twice in succession. But it will also not route errors through the static class function. Either it should return false so that a script can realize the input was not handled properly, or it should route errors throught the static class function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20072&edit=1
