#23929 [Com]: strange register_shutdown_function error for undefined functions

ID: 23929 Comment by: matt at matts dot org Reported By: philip at cornado dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues PHP Version: 4.3.2 Assigned To: helly New Comment: Philip is right, it's a stupid and cryptic error message. The error returned should be useful at least. Bad call. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-01 12:11:44] philip@php.net I'm sorry, I didn't realize that Unknown() and line #0 were official, I'll add this to the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-01 10:44:56] sniper@php.net No bug here. Philip, ask such questions on the mailing list and stop spamming the bug system with these.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-31 21:15:03] philip@php.net I don't understand the answer, and this is certainly not documented. Also, why did you assign it to yourself and mark it as bogus? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-31 17:00:26] helly@php.net 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 When some engine facility tries to call a non existing functions you receive such errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-31 15:55:47] philip at cornado dot com register_shutdown_function() provides a warning instead of a fatal error when calling an undefined function. Not sure if this is intentional or not but here's a test script: <?php echo 'hello'; register_shutdown_function('do_not_exist'); ?> And next, the strange looking error. Same result for both Apache module and CLI: Hello Warning: Unknown(): Unable to call do_not_exist() - function does not exist in Unknown on line 0 A PHP5 CLI demonstrates this same error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23929&edit=1
