#31102 [Com]: Exception not handled when thrown inside __autoload()

ID: 31102 Comment by: rowanjl at gmail dot com Reported By: php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.0.2 Assigned To: helly New Comment: I've been working on a system that uses exceptions to write to the log file, it would be useful to be able to log these erros and display a nicer message to the browser. The reasons for not fixing this bug are weak. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-25 18:51:39] nlopess@php.net helly has introduced a way to catch the exceptions, so it needs to be documented. (more details in the file he mentioned) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-21 21:49:37] helly@php.net For further details on exceptions in __autoload() see: http://cvs.php.net/co.php/ZendEngine2/tests/bug31102.phpt?r=HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-29 17:15:59] vrana@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. "Exceptions thrown in __autoload function cannot be catched in the 'catch' block and result in fatal error." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-16 13:04:08] derick@php.net hehe, perhaps. But we should mention this in the __autoload documentation though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-16 12:57:48] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net Your statement about that "last resort" is *not* documented. The Zend Engine 2 changes list says: The __autoload() interceptor function will be automatically called when an undeclared class is to be instantiated. The name of that class will be passed to the __autoload() interceptor function as its only argument. What __autoload() does is breaking the Exception handling, so I consider this as a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
