note 54482 added to function.set-error-handler

In PHP5, if you want to have exceptions thrown instead of normal errors - you could use an error handler, which throw exceptions: <?php function handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) { print "Error handled!\n"; throw new Exception($errstr, $errno); } set_error_handler('handler'); try { print 2 / 0; // simple error - division by zero print "This will never be printed"; } catch (Exception $e) { print "Exception catched:\n"; print "Code: ".$e->getCode()."\n"; print "Message: ".$e->getMessage()."\n"; print "Line: ".$e->getLine(); } ?> Result: Error handled! Exception catched: Code: 2 Message: Division by zero Line: 6 As you see, exception is catched like it have been thrown by division by zero - in try/catch clause. But line numer and backtrace shows, that is was thrown by the error handler. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54482 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54482&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54482&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
