#47981 [NEW]: error handler not called regardless

From: oliver dot graetz at gmx dot de Operating system: Windows Vista x64 SP1 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: error handler not called regardless Description: ------------ In the documentation of the set_error_handler it says: It is important to remember that the standard PHP error handler is completely bypassed. error_reporting() settings will have no effect and your error handler will be called regardless This is wrong! Errors of type E_STRICT will only trigger the custom error handler function if error_reporting explicitly includes them. This clearly means that error_reporting() settings HAVE an effect. Personally, I think this is an error in PHP and that the behaviour of PHP should be changed to fit the description in the documentation but from the current point this is at least a documentation problem. Reproduce code: --------------- // --- file 'errorhandler.php' -------------------------------- <?php $errormap = array( E_WARNING=>'E_WARNING', E_NOTICE=>'E_NOTICE', E_STRICT=>'E_STRICT' ); function handleError($errno,$errstr,$errfile,$errline,$errcontext) { echo "$errno (".$GLOBALS['errormap'][$errno].": $errstr\n"; } set_error_handler('handleError'); // --- file 'tester.php' -------------------------------------- <?php include 'errorhandler.php'; error_reporting(E_ALL); $x=5/0; //E_WARNING echo $not_set; //E_NOTICE //E_STRICT interface a{} class b implements a { function f($a=1) {}} class c extends b {function f() {}} Expected result: ---------------- 2 (E_WARNING: Division by zero 8 (E_NOTICE: Undefined variable: not_set 2048 (E_STRICT: Declaration of c::f() should be compatible with that of b::f() Actual result: -------------- 2 (E_WARNING: Division by zero 8 (E_NOTICE: Undefined variable: not_set -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47981&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47981&r=mysqlcfg
