Mostly. Fix#50250 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-25 07:37:26] jani@php.net So now it's working, document it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-24 21:08:31] brandon@php.net This report is about the fact that the PHP team closed a bug as "wontfix" when someone complained that exceptions raised in autoloaders could not be caught. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26193 Thus, there is an inconsistency in PHP, and one that should be resolved to ensure that this isn't deemed a hole later on that must be "fixed," breaking code for those that thought this was by design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-24 20:22:52] jani@php.net So what is this report about? Are you really complaining because something WORKS? If so, please change this to documentation issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-23 11:55:13] rquadling@php.net Amendeded the code slightly ... <?php echo "\n", PHP_VERSION; if (function_exists('spl_autoload_register')) { function autoload($class) { throw new Exception('test'); require $class . '.php'; } spl_autoload_register('autoload'); } else { function __autoload($class) { throw new Exception('test'); require $class . '.php'; } } try { new NoExist(); } catch (Exception $e) { echo "unable to load the class.\n"; } 5.0.0 Fatal error: __autoload(NoExist) threw an exception of type 'Exception' in Z:\testauto.php on line 29 5.0.1 - 5.0.5 Fatal error: Function __autoload(NoExist) threw an exception of type 'Exception' in Z:\testauto.php on line 29 5.1.0 - 5.2.11 Fatal error: Class 'NoExist' not found in Z:\testauto.php on line 29 5.3.0 - 5.3.1 unable to load the class. And using MissingException 5.0.0 - 5.0-5 Fatal error: Class 'MissingException' not found in Z:\testauto.php on line 12 5.1.0 - 5.3.1 Fatal error: Class 'MissingException' not found in Z:\testauto.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
