Yes. exception_handler, that is set with set_exception_handler(),
catches exceptions those are uncaught by PHP script. The handler is not
executed in context of PHP script (it is executed without any context),
and it cannot throw exceptions.

Dmitry, I think this was intentional behaviour, but can you confirm
this?

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
