#36826 [NEW]: Throwing an exception inside an exception handler catch block causes fatal

From: qlogix at gmail dot com Operating system: Centos 4.1 PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Throwing an exception inside an exception handler catch block causes fatal Description: ------------ Throwing an exception from inside a catch block within an exception handler function causes a fatal error. If I comment out the marked line, the fatal error does not occur. I would expect PHP to re-call the master exception handler function. Reproduce code: --------------- class TestException extends Exception { } set_exception_handler('handler'); function handler($ex) { /* Just to rule out recursion */ if ($ex instanceof TestException) { die("Recursion"); } try { /* This is where I would attempt to write to the db */ throw new Exception("someDBFunction failed"); } catch (Exception $ex) { /* If I comment out the following line, the error goes away */ throw new TestException("The db logging function failed..write to file."); } } throw new Exception("Ex"); Expected result: ---------------- The script should die with the message "Recursion" Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36826&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36826&r=mysqlcfg
