From: teo8976 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Unclear statement in set_error_handler docs Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.set-error-handler --- This sentence: """ The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING, and most of E_STRICT raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called """ is ambiguous. It is unclear whether the part that says "raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called" applies only to E_STRICT, or to all the mentioned error levels. That is, one could interpret: A) "" The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: - E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING (wherever they are raised) - most of E_STRICT raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called "" or B) "" The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: {E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING and most of E_STRICT} raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called "" From what I've been able to test, it seems that the truth is (A) This must be made clearer. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76318&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76318&r=mysqlcfg
