When trying to derive from class Exception and access the 'string'
property or call 'parent::__toString' PHP segfaults:
<?php
class MyException extends Exception {
function __toString() {
var_dump($this->string);
}
}
throw new MyException("hmm");
?>
Output:
$ php testException.php
NULL
Segmentation fault
Or this example:
<?php
class MyException extends Exception {
function __toString() {
parent::__toString();
}
}
throw new MyException("hmm");
?>
Output:
$ php testException.php
Segmentation fault
The need for this came up when I saw that the reported exception is
not foramted in the HTML output; it's quite hard next to impossible
to properly read the stack trace. So my goal was to make my own
exception and call nl2br() on the string returned from the class.
Besides the segfaults above, is there a chance we have a nicer HTML
formatting for reported Exceptions (while still strip those HTML
tags from it for logging)?
