ID: 24214 User updated by: gk at proliberty dot com Reported By: gk at proliberty dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux ; kernel 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Yes, below is an example of how I'm using it. The purpose is to work around the limited arguments passed to custom error handlers, installed with set_error_handler(), which do not receive class and function information. The following function replaces trigger_error() by talking directly to my custom error handler ('phpc_error_handler', omitted for brevity below), using debug_backtrace() to pass class and function info for prepending to error messages. <?php /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /* phpc_trigger_error( $errorMessage,$errorCode,$debugBacktrace=NULL ) same as PHP built-in trigger_error, with optional parameter generate error message including debugging information USAGE: phpc_trigger_error( $errorMessage,$errorCode,debug_backtrace() ); */ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// function phpc_trigger_error( $errorMessage,$errorCode,$debug_backtrace=NULL ){ $errfile=__FILE__; $errline=__LINE__; $errclass=""; $errfunction=""; if (isset($debug_backtrace[0])){ $errfile=$debug_backtrace[0]['file']; $errline=$debug_backtrace[0]['line']; $errclass=$debug_backtrace[0]['class']; $errfunction=$debug_backtrace[0]['function']; } if (!empty($errclass)) $errclass.='::'; if (!empty($errfunction)) $errfunction.='(): '; $errorMessage=$errclass.$errfunction.$errorMessage.' '; phpc_error_handler ($errorCode,$errorMessage,$errfile,$errline); } // phpc_trigger_error() ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-17 11:40:34] sniper@php.net Can you show an example where this could somehow be useful? (you can always use __FILE__ and __LINE__ :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-16 19:33:06] gk at proliberty dot com Description: ------------ debug_backtrace() should behave consistently in order to be useful in all contexts: inside classes, functions and from top level of script file. However, when exectuted from top level, it returns an empty array. According to the documentation, it should return an array with minimal info including __LINE__, __FILE__ >debug_backtrace() generates a PHP backtrace and returns this information as an associative array. The possible returned elements are listed in the following table: ... line integer The current line number. See also __LINE__. file string The current file name. See also __FILE__. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print_r(debug_backtrace()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- [greg@p3 xobj]$ php /tmp/a.php array(1) { [0]=> array(4) { ["file"] => string(10) "/tmp/a.php" ["line"] => int(1) ["function"] => ["args"]=> } } Actual result: -------------- [greg@p3 xobj]$ php /tmp/a.php Array ( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24214&edit=1
