ID: 22901 Updated by: sterling@php.net Reported By: mfischer@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-03-26 (dev) New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Its informative enough :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-19 12:05:47] thekid at thekid dot de thekid@friebes:~ > cat | php5 <?php class dummy_exception { } throw new dummy_exception; ?> ^D Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'dummy_exception'! in Unknown on line 0 At least we've gotten a bit farther:) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-26 19:14:48] mfischer@php.net Another small note: No idea why it hast to be called "Uncaught exception!" with a trailing bang but reading it in a message like Fatal error: Uncaught exception! in Unknown on line 0 doesn't fit well. Any plans to remove this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-26 08:29:51] mfischer@php.net The error message for uncaught exceptions is not very informative. -------------8<---------------- Example: $ cat exception.php <?php class dummy_exception { } throw new dummy_exception; ?> $ php exception.php Fatal error: Uncaught exception! in Unknown on line 0 Unknown(0) : Fatal error - Uncaught exception! -------------8<---------------- It doesn't matter whether the throw statement is in a function/class or not. A few things which should be considered worth improving this message: - in which file is it thrown ("Unknown" ?) - on which line is it thrown ("0" ?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22901&edit=1
