#24528 [NEW]: PEAR_Error() hides fatal error when the class method error handler called

From: akimoto at share360 dot com Operating system: Windows XP pro PHP version: 4.3.3RC1 PHP Bug Type: PEAR related Bug description: PEAR_Error() hides fatal error when the class method error handler called Description: ------------ When you set PEAR error handler with object's method, any fatal error occuring in the handler does not show the fatal error message generated by PHP, just dies instead. Fatal error should be caught and recognized. This issue makes it very difficult to chase PHP system level error. PEAR.php line 768 (in 1.2b2) @call_user_func($this->callback, $this); should not have atmark. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php require_once('PEAR.php'); class DummyForFatalError { function DummyForFatalError(&$arg1) {} } class MyErrorHandler { function handlerMethod() { new DummyForFatalError(null); // cannot pass null as reference parameter } } $errorHandlerClass = new MyErrorHandler(); PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, array(&$errorHandlerClass, 'handlerMethod')); class MyPear extends PEAR { function invokeError() { PEAR::throwError(null, '123', 'userinfo'); } } MyPear::invokeError(); echo "End of script"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 1 by reference in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\reproduce.php on line 8 Actual result: -------------- blank page -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24528&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24528&r=gnused
