Using user_error() issue. 1

[thenewa2x]

Here's an example of what I'm using:

class LIB
{
    function test ( $again = "" )
    {
        if ( !@self::junk( $again ) )
        {
            // Report.
            user_error( "You should have given, \$again!",
                        E_USER_ERROR );
        }

        print( "Hi." );
    }

    function junk ( $var = "" )
    {
        if ( empty( $var ) )
        {
            // Report.
            user_error( "Argument, \$var, is required.",
                        E_USER_ERROR );

            return( false );
        }
    }
}

LIB::test( );

The above is a working example but it is not my original code. It should pump out a user error of "You should have given, $again!" but it doesn't appear to do anything at all.

Is this a bug? If it is, is there a work around?

what level of error display do you have? it may not be high enough to display user-errors.

to test add the directive

error_reporting(E_ALL);

to the start of your script.

I see. I did what you suggested and the only error I had was a notice of an undefined index which is irrelevant so I couldn't fix anything. Thanks for you suggestion though.

Also, I think you misunderstood what I was trying to accomplish, I'll tweak the code just a bit.

class LIB
{
    function test ( $again = "" )
    {
        if ( !@self::junk( $again ) )
        {
            print( "Bad mojo." );
        }

        print( "Hi." );
    }

    function junk ( $var = "" )
    {
        if ( empty( $var ) )
        {
            // Report.
            user_error( "Argument, \$var, is required.",
                        E_USER_ERROR );

            return( false );
        }
    }
}

LIB::test( );

It should be printing out "Bad mojo". Instead, it looks like the script dies right there.

Also, I noticed that the error is submitted to my errors log but not displayed, even though it shouldn't be doing any of that.

If you remove the error suppressor '@' in this call:

!@self::junk( $again )

You will receive:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'self'

Change 'self' to LIB and the code should perform the way you expect.

What version of PHP are you using? I'm using v5.0.4 (CLI).

E_USER_ERROR causes the php error handler to stop further execution. either write your own error handler or put a different error level in (try E_NOTICE).

sorry - boo boo there. should be E_USER_NOTICE
