Yeah, I assumed it'd apply to a couple of functions on the Exception class but this was the easiest to prove so I thought I'd do this first and see if it got picked up. Thanks!

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53882&edit=1
