Description:
------------
gearman support => enabled
extension version => 1.0.3
libgearman version => 0.37
Default TCP Host => localhost
Default TCP Port => 4730

See php_gearman.c: PHP_FUNCTION(gearman_client_run_tasks) and 
PHP_FUNCTION(gearman_worker_work) where they call *_set_server_option

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$gm = new GearmanWorker();
$gm->addServer();
$gm->addServer("127.0.0.1",1234);
$gm->addFunction("example", function () {});
$gm->work();


Expected result:
----------------
Assuming that you have a gearman server running on localhost on the default port:

I expect it to connect to that server and register the "example" function.


Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'GearmanException' with message 'Failed to set 
exception option' in /Users/bturner/pc/gme/test.php on line 5

GearmanException: Failed to set exception option in /Users/bturner/pc/gme/test.php 
on line 5

Am I reading correctly that you are attempting to connect to port 1234 (not 4730)? 
The exception is being thrown because pecl/gearman is trying to talk to a server 
that it is unable to connect to.
 [2012-09-24 15:37 UTC] me at re-becca dot org 
Yes, that's correct.  Note the two calls to addServer.

Even though it can't connect to the second server it should continue.  Actually, 
most gearman libraries won't even throw an exception if both servers are down, 
they'll just wait, trying to reconnect until a timeout is triggered.

It *certainly* should not throw a "Failed to set exception option" in any case.  
That's happening because the PECL library indiscriminately tries to set the 
"exception option" on every call to work() on each of the servers it was told to 
connect to, even if some of them didn't connect.

Should the option even be set at work time? I would expect at connect time, not 
work time, but not knowing the original intent, I'm not sure.

PECL Gearman:
gearman support => enabled
extension version => 1.1.0
libgearman version => 1.1.3 (Compiled with --enable-assert and --enable-debug)
Default TCP Host => localhost
Default TCP Port => 4730
PHP: v5.4.8 (compiled with --enable-debug)

My worker test case is here: 
  http://pastie.org/5387047

And jobs were added every minute by calling: 
  gearman -b -f testcase_01 1010101

After 2 hours of normal working, suddenly I got same message "Failed to set 
exception option".

On request, I can attach geamand logs (with --verbose=DEBUG).

Here is gdb backtrace:

Probably I had to create a new but report or is it a similar bug!?
 [2012-11-16 21:34 UTC] me at re-becca dot org 
You're also getting a segmentation fault, so I'd file a separate bug report of I 
were you.
 [2012-11-16 23:58 UTC] hradtke@php.net 
I will update the extension to not try and set that option if the connection 
failed.

fruit.dev, I think you linked to the wrong ticket? That one doesn't seem to be 
related, nor does it have a patch.
 [2013-04-25 23:12 UTC] fruit dot dev at gmail dot com 
When I look at both tickets today, it seems to me, that they are totally 
different.

The gearman extension have not had much activity in the past few years, so I'm taking the safe bet that this is no longer under active development (as I don't consider the typo fixes on the github repo an active development), besides that it also targets unsupported PHP versions. Please unsuspend this report in case it begins to blossom with life once more
