Re: set_exception_handler catches all Throwables

Plan to migrate to PHP 7 later, like the new Exception/Error way of working very much. Point is that current set_exception_handler only address exceptions, not errors. You are right that on that the surface it's the same callback, but could eg be logging in different ways and to different recipients. Will look into it more later.

What do you guys do in the set_exception_handler callback? Wouldn't most code just use the same callback and just log the error / exception? Regards, Niklas 2015-08-19 11:55 GMT+02:00 Björn Larsson <bjorn.x.larsson@telia.com <mailto:bjorn.x.larsson@telia.com>>:

                Actually, I don't call this intended. This is just as
                much as a BC break
                as the original implementation where Errors where also
                Exceptions. IMO,
                set_exception_handler() should be changed - with my
                preference it not
                capturing Error, and instead have an additional
                set_throwable_handler().

        What's the plan for set_exception_handler() regarding
        Throwables? Seeing as
        we're now in the RC release phase I think this bone of
        contention should be
        resolved one way or another as soon as we can.

    Yes, a "global" function that behaves differently between PHP 5 & 7 is
    not optimal in my view. I'm also wondering how to make one handler
    managing two different type of situations. @ircmaxwell described it in
    *Core functions throwing exceptions in PHP7*:
    "Errors signify programmer error, where Exceptions signify
    unknown or runtime errors. Meaning that an Error should always be a
    problem with your code, but an Exception could be a systems problem, a
    user problem or a problem in your code."
