[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7347: PHP does not report fatal errors From: cjw <email protected>
Date: 10/19/00

From: cjw <email protected>
Operating system: RedHat Linux 6.0
PHP version: 4.0.3pl1
PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: PHP does not report fatal errors

When I run the code below, as it stands. I get the following output - which is clearly incorrect!

Cullin

Performing test A:...
testA:
forceError: called
holder->test() called!
testPrint: a: Param 2
testPrint: b: Param 2

Performing test B:...
testB: 1
forceError: called

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/home/cjw/www/function.php on line 36

<?

    /* try changing the values for testA and testB */
    /* from true to false. You will find that when */
    /* testA is called with a false or undefuned */
    /* value, PHP will not report any errors */
    /* and the testPrint will print incorrect */
    /* parameters. - Go figure! cwible <email protected> */

    print "<B>Performing test A:...<BR></B>";
    testA(getHashVal('false'));
    print "<P>";

    print "<B>Performing test B:...<BR></B>";
    print testB(getHashVal('true'));

    /* create a new object, then call forceError */
    function testA (&$var_a) {
        print "testA: $var_a<BR>";
        $obj = new holder();
        forceError();
    };

    /* create a new object, then call forceError */
    /* the only difference here is that $var_a */
    /* is not a reference - go figure */
    function testB ($var_a) {
        print "testB: $var_a<BR>";
        $obj = new holder();
        forceError();
    };

    /* call a method on an undefined object */
    function forceError () {
        print "forceError: called<BR>\n";
        $notanobject->test();
        testPrint("Param 1","Param 2");
    };

    /* just print our parameters */
    function testPrint($a,$b) {
         print "testPrint: a: " . $a . "<BR>\n";
         print "testPrint: b: " . $b . "<BR>\n";
    };

    /* return a value from a hash */
    function getHashVal($var) {
        $hash['true'] = true;
        unset($hash['false']);

        return($hash[$var]);
    }

    /* a class that just prints text */
    class holder {
        function test() {
            print "<B>holder->test() called!</B><BR>\n";
            return;
        }
    };
