note 45535 added to ref.errorfunc

PHP5 only (only tested with php5.0). If you, for some reason, prefer exceptions over errors and have your custom error handler (set_error_handler) wrap the error into an exception you have to be careful with your script. Because if you, instead of just calling the exception handler, throws the exception, and having a custom exception handler (set_exception_handler). And an error is being triggered inside that exception handler, you will get a weird error: "Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0" This error is not particulary informative, is it? :) This example below will cause this error. <?php class PHPErrorException extends Exception { private $context = null; public function __construct ($code, $message, $file, $line, $context = null) { parent::__construct($message, $code); $this->file = $file; $this->line = $line; $this->context = $context; } }; function error_handler($code, $message, $file, $line) { throw new PHPErrorException($code, $message, $file, $line); } function exception_handler(Exception $e) { $errors = array( E_USER_ERROR => "User Error", E_USER_WARNING => "User Warning", E_USER_NOTICE => "User Notice", ); echo $errors[$e->getCode()].': '.$e->getMessage().' in '.$e->getFile(). ' on line '.$e->getLine()."\n"; echo $e->getTraceAsString(); } set_error_handler('error_handler'); set_exception_handler('exception_handler'); // Throw exception with an /unkown/ error code. throw new Exception('foo', 0); ?> There are however, easy fix for this as it's only cause is sloppy code. Like one, directly call exception_handler from error_handler instead of throwing an exception. Not only does it remedy this problem, but it's also faster. Though this will cause a regular unhandled exception being printed and if only "designed" error messages are intended, this is not the ultimate solution. So, what is there to do? Make sure the code in exception_handlers doesn't cause any errors! In this case a simple isset() would have solved it. regards, C-A B. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45535 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45535&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45535&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
