Oops! Of course. Actually, the error message makes that clear ("... completely ..."). > Please, do not break an ability to enable asserts from php code. As Nikita pointed out, enabling assertions during runtime is *impossible*, if zend.assertions = -1. However, as the documentation isn't very clear about this issue, I'm changing to doc bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-23 14:21:37] ildar dot aim at gmail dot com Please, do not break an ability to enable asserts from php code. In some case, developers do not have a write access to the php.ini file. This old debug code does not work after upgrade to PHP7 without //Enable assertions if (defined('DEVELOPMENT_MODE')) { // ini_set('zend.assertions', 1); // does not work without php.ini corrections assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, true); assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL, false); assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, false); assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'func_assert_failure_handler'); } else { assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, false); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-23 12:56:23] nikic@php.net This is how it's supposed to work. You can't change from or to a -1 assertion level at runtime, because it controls compile-time behavior. If you want to retain the ability to change the assertion level at runtime, you should be using zend.assertions=0 in your ini, instead of zend.assertions=-1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-23 12:51:23] cmb@php.net Indeed, there is obviously a contradiction in the code: <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.0.5RC1/Zend/zend.c#L121> vs. <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.0.5RC1/Zend/zend.c#L132>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
