Description:
------------
During testing our application for compatibility with php 8 one script stopped suddenly and the resulting web page was incomplete.

This occured when loading the empty web page without retrieving the central data from the database.

The stop occurs at the following lines of code (the original code):

...
for($i=0;$i<=7;$i++){
	@$fSOrder=pg_fetch_assoc($rSOrder);
	if($fSOrder['od_distribution']==2){
...

This code has worked on all the version 7.x.y until 7.4.8 even if it misses error-handling.

The query to get a valid $rSOrder with pg_query has not been called/executed, so $rSOrder is not existent at this point of the script.

($rSOrder etc. is declared global in a function for executing the query:
function searchOrder(){
	global $fSOrder,$rSOrder,$book,$iden,$style,$season,$file,$only;
...


The original application developers knew that at this point there could be an error by using the not existing $rSOrder and included the @ to suppress the error message (not introduced/changed by me).

When using php8 (already tested on php8 alpha 2) the script terminates with a last error message pointing to the line of pg_fetch_assoc:

08-Jul-2020 16:35:20 Europe/Berlin] PHP Warning:  Undefined variable $rSOrder in N:\cpsdev\cps\cps_pg\AltaPedido.php on line 2390

The script terminates processing without any fatal error/crash and sends the incomplete web page to apache/browser.

On the same machine and the same source tree php 7.4.8 logs the same error but continues and completes the web page.

The problem remains when removing error reporting by deleting the @.

Environment:
- Windows server 2019 64bit Standard in a VM under HyperV
- Apache 2.43 64bit from apachelounge
- php 8 alpha2 64bit thread safe from php.net QA download
- php loaded as a module with php_module
- JIT is on for php8 (not sure if it is really used)
- opcache is enabled

The call is probably throwing a TypeError, but something in your error/exception handling setting eats it.

That's quite likely.  However, to exclude any potential OPcache
issues, please run the script with OPcache disabled.

I have tried it with opcache disabled, same error:

The Zend OPcache extension is installed but not active

The code comes from the php 4 era and has no explicit exception handling.

The variable $rSOrder is only declared inside of this function as global and not set before.

It should be easyly reproducable by declaring the function, calling the loop with dummy echos and some dummy echos after the loop.


The core problem is that the script stops processing (different from 7.x.y).
 [2020-07-09 08:24 UTC] cmb@php.net
The point is that pg_fetch_assoc($rSOrder) is called while
$rSOrder is undefined.  This is supposed to throw a TypeError in
PHP 8.  This TypeError is apparently caught by your script (maybe
by set_error_handler() or set_exception_handler()).  At least for
debugging purposes, you could rewrite

    @$fSOrder=pg_fetch_assoc($rSOrder);

to

    $fsOrder = isset($rSOrder) ? pg_fetch_assoc($rSOrder) : [];

or so.

I have condensed the original script to a short version (even missing the connection to the database).

This reproduces the same error (abrupt script termination):

<?php

session_start ();


function searchOrder(){
	global $fSOrder,$rSOrder,$book,$iden,$style,$season,$file,$only;
	echo 'inside searchOrder';
}

?>

Your script produces:

Warning: Undefined variable $rSOrder in /home/nikic/php/php-src/t036.php on line 34

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: pg_fetch_assoc(): Argument #1 ($result) must be of type resource, null given in /home/nikic/php/php-src/t036.php:34
Stack trace:
#0 /home/nikic/php/php-src/t036.php(34): pg_fetch_assoc(NULL)
#1 {main}
  thrown in /home/nikic/php/php-src/t036.php on line 34

Exactly as expected and explained before. If you do not see the error message, you need to look at your error handlers and your error related ini settings (do you have error_reporting=E_ALL? Do you have at least one of display_errors=1 or enabled logging? If you are logging, did you check your log?)

In any case, this is not a bug in PHP.
 [2020-07-09 13:47 UTC] buschmann at nidsa dot net
In my case this does not throw a fatal error.

Have you tested my script under Windows?

I have error_log enabled, E_ALL.

In the error log I only get 1 line per call as:

[09-Jul-2020 15:35:53 Europe/Berlin] PHP Warning:  Undefined variable $rSOrder in N:\cpsdev\cps\cps_pg\hbtest.php on line 34
and then nothing more.

I have tried it on the same machine with php 7.4.8 and get multiple lines of

[09-Jul-2020 15:28:58 Europe/Berlin] PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: rSOrder in N:\cpsdev\cps\cps_pg\hbtest.php on line 34
[09-Jul-2020 15:28:58 Europe/Berlin] PHP Warning:  pg_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in N:\cpsdev\cps\cps_pg\hbtest.php on line 34
...

but the script terminates and shows all content in browser (view source).

I have switched back to the php8 delivered pqlib.dll but same error.
