ID: 33996 User updated by: phpbugs at majiclab dot com Reported By: phpbugs at majiclab dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Mac OSX 10.4 PHP Version: 5.0.4 Assigned To: dmitry New Comment: I think it's been like this for as long as I can remember using PHP, just never thought to submit a bug report for it. On a side note — this should maybe be submitted as a separate bug report — it would nice if these kinds of errors (invalid type, missing arguments) could throw exceptions instead of raising an error? Maybe that could even be a compile option/ phpini setting or something to keep the current behavior standard. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-04 19:46:03] tony2001@php.net Dmitry, could you plz look at it? I can reproduce it with 5.1 too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-04 17:43:45] phpbugs at majiclab dot com Description: ------------ When passing an invalid value as a typed argument (as in ! ($argument instanceof typedclass)), a Fatal Error is given, with the following information: Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in index.php on line 7 The problem is line 7 is the declaration of the function, not the line of code that called the function. It makes bug tracing on a big project next to impossible! Even using ZDE Professional has the same results: I cannot find the function that caused the error (and since the error is fatal, there is no more stack for me to look at). The same goes for missing arguments. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foo { // nothing } function FooTest(Foo $foo) { echo "Hello!"; } function NormalTest($a) { echo "Hi!"; } NormalTest(); FooTest(); FooTest(new Foo()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Warning: Missing argument 1 for NormalTest() in /.../index.php on line 17 Hi! Warning: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in /.../ index.php on line 18 Actual result: -------------- Warning: Missing argument 1 for NormalTest() in /.../index.php on line 12 Hi! Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an object of class Foo in /.../index.php on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33996&edit=1
