#32923 [NEW]: Try and catch strange behaviour

From: m dot cappelleri at xaos dot it Operating system: Debian PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Try and catch strange behaviour Description: ------------ In a try and catch syntax, when an Exception is thrown a variable strangely disappears. Reproduce code: --------------- $this->_images = array(); while ($r = $q->fetchRow()){ try { $tmp = NULL; echo "Adding element ... <br/>"; $tmp = Attachment::Attachment($r['attachment_id'], $r['type_id']); if (!isNull($tmp)) { $this->_images[] = $tmp; } } catch (xException $e) { echo "<b>EX</b>"; } } echo "<pre>Ora lo printo..."; print_r($this->_images); echo "</pre>"; Expected result: ---------------- $this->_images SHOULD ALWAYS be an array, no matter when or if an exception is thrown. Actual result: -------------- In this case when the exception is thrown in the last cycle the print_r gives a null result. Even more strangely, $this->_images is still there and correctly populated when requested after that (from a different method). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32923&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32923&r=mysqlcfg
