Bug #47257 SQLite3->__construct has no sane way to detect errors
Submitted: 2009-01-31 19:22 UTC Modified: 2012-11-12 22:37 UTC
From: cellog@php.net Assigned: salathe (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Documentation problem
PHP Version: 5.3.0beta1 OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
SQLite3->__construct does not indicate errors by anything other than an E_NOTICE.  This means we have to set a user error handler just to tell whether or not this code succeeds:

<?php
$a = new SQLite3('/path/to/database.sqlite');
?>

the constructor should throw an exception, or provide an error string parameter by reference like the SQLite object.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// run as non-root
$a = new SQLite3('/root/database.sqlite');
?>

Expected result:
----------------
exception

Actual result:
--------------
E_NOTICE error

Exceptions only IMHO, it is a "new" OOP only extension, kinda odd that it throws only notices on errors...

I'll add an error mode option and probably default it to an exception. I'm not a huge fan of heavy exception throwing code, you end up wrapping huge blocks of code in try {}.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Committed Niel's patch, thank you very much. User note also deleted.
