#34452 [NEW]: __set type hinting does not provide enough information

From: stochnagara at hotmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5CVS-2005-09-10 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: __set type hinting does not provide enough information Description: ------------ This problem is about the error message shown when a type hinting parameter is incorrect and fatal error occurs. There was a recent changed which enhanced the error message to show the caller of the function/methos which caused a fatal error and debugging became much easier since then. But there is one case where the additional information is not provided - when __set method is called magically. See example below. As you may see, the 'defined in ...' statement is missing. Reproduce code: --------------- <? class foo {} class demo { function __set ($name, foo $abc) {} function set ($name, foo $abc) {} } $demo = new demo; /* CASE 1 */ $demo->set ('abc', null); /* CASE 2 */ $demo->__set ('abc', null); /* CASE 3 */ $demo->abc = null; Expected result: ---------------- in case 1: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null, called in ...\test.php on line 10 and defined in ...\test.php on line 6 in case 2: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null, called in ...\test.php on line 11 and defined in ...\test.php on line 5 in case 3: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null, called in ...\test.php on line 12 and defined in ...\test.php on line 5 Actual result: -------------- in case 1: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null, called in ...\test.php on line 10 and defined in ...\test.php on line 6 in case 2: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null, called in ...\test.php on line 11 and defined in ...\test.php on line 5 in case 3: Fatal error: Argument 2 must not be null in ...\test.php on line 5 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34452&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34452&r=mysqlcfg
