Description:
------------
In the RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/catchable-call-to-member-of-non-object) set_error_handler was suppose to catch calls to methods on a non-object.  I'm not experiencing that when I use PHP7 Alpha1 (http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.0.0alpha1-nts-Win32-VC14-x86.zip) on Windows 7.  I tried it on the command line and via the built in web server.  I can catch the exception if I do a try and catch (EngineException $e) block, but not with the error handler.

//This Works:
$x= null;
try{
var_dump($x->method());
}
catch (EngineException $e)
{
echo 'caught the exception';
}

Test script:
---------------
set_error_handler(function($code, $message) {
  var_dump($code, $message);
});
 
$x= null;
var_dump($x->method());
echo "Alive\n";

Expected result:
----------------
int(4096)
string(50) "Call to a member function method() on a non-object"
NULL
Alive

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught EngineException: Call to a member function method() on nul
l in C:\PHP7\scripts\test.php:6
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in C:\PHP7\scripts\test.php on line 6

The linked RFC has been superseded by https://wiki.php.net/rfc/engine_exceptions_for_php7, which does not allow handling these using set_error_handler. You must either catch the exception or use set_exception_handler.

nikic,

Thanks for the quick reply and answer!

Anyway you can put that comment in the wiki so others don't fall into looking at out-dated documentation.

@dacelhs03: Sure, I've added a note at the top.
