Bug #14445: undefined function not trapped by user defined error handler

From: jlim@natsoft.com.my Operating system: Win2000 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: undefined function not trapped by user defined error handler The following code is used to catch errors and mail them to the webmaster: <?php /* decide what errors to report */ error_reporting (E_ALL); /* error handler function */ function MailErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile='?', $errline= '?') { print " Errno=$errno Errorstring=$errstr"; /* code deleted - mails error to webmaster */ } set_error_handler('MailErrorHandler'); $undefined_var(); When the code above is run, I see in the browser window: Errno=8 Errorstring=Undefined variable: undefined_var Fatal error: Call to undefined function: () in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\err.php on line 14 In other words, the Fatal error is never caught by the error handler, and our webmaster never detects that it is actually a very serious error, and not just an "undefined var" E_NOTICE.
