Doc #73892 [NEW]: Error handler example is kind of misleading

From: andre at webkr dot de Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Error handler example is kind of misleading Description: ------------ On manual page http://www.php.net/function.set-error-handler there is an example of an error handler and it contains this code: if (!(error_reporting() & $errno)) { // This error code is not included in error_reporting return; } I think this gives the impression that this code emulates the behavior of the "normal" error handler: If the error is not included in the current error_reporting, do nothing. However, there is a difference between this code and the case when no error handler is set at all. This code breaks error_get_last(). See https://3v4l.org/nvNsr I suggest this code to be changed into if (!(error_reporting() & $errno)) { // This error code is not included in error_reporting return false; } Because that would emulate the exact same behavior as when no error handler is set at all: https://3v4l.org/cp5l0 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73892&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73892&r=mysqlcfg
