Doc #53882 [NEW]: Exception::getLine method returns line where Exception created not Thrown

From: Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Exception::getLine method returns line where Exception created not Thrown Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/exception.getline.php says "Returns line number where the exception was thrown." However it seems to be returning the line number the Exception was created, not thrown. Either: A) This is a code bug. B) This is a documentation bug. I am using PHP Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 I found http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33407 which seems to suggest this is how the code is meant to work. In this case the documentation is wrong. Test script: --------------- Change the sample code from that page slightly to: <?php try { $e = new Exception("Some error message"); throw $e; } catch(Exception $e) { echo "The exception was thrown on line: " . $e->getLine(); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- The exception was thrown on line: 4 Because line 4 is the line where the Exception was Thrown. Actual result: -------------- The exception was thrown on line: 3 That's the line where the Exception was created. This contradicts the documentation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53882&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53882&r=mysqlcfg
