Fixed in PHP 5, won't fix in PHP 4. See also: http://fi.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.newref.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 16:05:02] paul dot liversidge at recycledpixels dot com If I add a new method to the class, activate (see below), remove the constructor method and call this new function immediately after instantiating the class, i.e. $err->activate (); it all works fine as well. function activate () { $this->old_error_handler = set_error_handler (array (&$this, 'handle_error')); } It seems to be something related to setting the error handler in the constructor method. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 15:28:50] paul dot liversidge at recycledpixels dot com Description: ------------ I set the error handler to point at a class/method and then change some of the class variables. Debugging lines and method confirm the class variable has occurred. When I then trigger an error by echo'ing an uninitialized variable the error handler resets or reinstantiates the class. If $use_me is initialized in the constructor instead of being defined as a 'constant', it makes no difference as the value at the time of an error is NULL, whatever is defined in the core class code. If the set_error_handler function is called from line 3, i.e. set_error_handler (array (&$err, 'handler_error')), it all works fine. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $err = new ErrorHandler; $err->use_me = true; echo ("[1:{$err->use_me}]"); $err->test (); echo $fred; class ErrorHandler { var $use_me = 4; function ErrorHandler () { set_error_handler (array (&$this, 'handle_error')); } function test () { echo ("[2:{$this->use_me}]"); } function handle_error ($number, $message, $file, $line, $context) { echo ("[3:{$this->use_me}]"); echo ("Error $number"); } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- [1:1][2:1][3:1]Error 8 Actual result: -------------- [1:1][2:1][3:4]Error 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25580&edit=1
