Re: require_once and E_WARNING?

Hello all, According to the PHP Manual, when require or require_once failes, an E_ERROR is triggered: "require() and include() are identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error." (With 'Fatal Error' being a link to E_ERROR). Thing is, when using a custom error handler via set_error_handler(), it appears to be triggering an E_WARNING, not an E_ERROR. Using PHP 5.1.4 under Linux. There are one of three possibilities: I am suffering from a lapse in lucidity (common), the manual is wrong (possible), or PHP is broken somehow (unlikely). I'm guessing it's the first, but what am I doing wrong? I'd like to get a second opinion before submitting a bug. I searched bugs.php.net but was unable to find anything relevant for 5.1.4. Code: function default_error_handler($code, $error, $file, $line) { switch ($code) { case E_ERROR:

     die ("Error: $error");

case E_WARNING:

     die("Warning: $error");

default:

     die("Something else entirely: $error");

} }

What happens if you put breaks after the die()? This shouldn't be necesary, but it wouldn't hurt to try. ;-) As I see in the example of the PHP manual, a break is put even after an exit(1) call.

set_error_handler('default_error_handler'); require('This file does not exist. At least not here!');

Have you tried this handler with something more fatal, like a missing semi-colon or a } missmatch? -- 21:50:04 up 2 days, 9:07, 0 users, load average: 0.92, 0.37, 0.18 ---------------------------------------------------------
