Submitted: 2009-04-17 11:27 UTC Modified: 2009-04-21 08:12 UTC

Description:
------------
The creation of a default object from an empty value triggers a warning
with level E_STRICT.

If an error handler catches this warning, in some cases the automatic
initialization of the object fails.

Without error handler, everything works as expected.

Affected versions: 5.3.0RC1, 5.3.0alpha3
Not affected: 5.2.x 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

function error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext)
{
        return true;
}

function test()
{
        $data->id = 1;
        var_dump($data);
}

set_error_handler("error_handler");

test();


Expected result:
----------------
object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
  ["id"]=>
  int(1)
}


Actual result:
--------------
NULL
