Issue
I was using CodeIgniter 3.0.0 with PHP 5.6.
Yesterday I updated to PHP 7 and started getting following error:-
Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to CI_Exceptions::show_exception() must be
an instance of Exception, instance of Error given, called in /my/file/path/app/system/core/Common.php on line 658 and defined in /my/file/path/hgx_portal/app/system/core/Exceptions.php:190
Stack trace:
#0 /my/file/path/hgx_portal/app/system/core/Common.php(658): CI_Exceptions->show_exception(Object
(Error))
#1 [internal function]: _exception_handler(Object(Error))
#2 {main}
thrown in /my/file/path/hgx_portal/app/system/core/Exceptions.phpon line 190
Solution
This is a know issue in CodeIgniter 3.0.0, see the github issue here and changelog below:
Fixed a bug (#4137) - :doc:
Error Handling <general/errors>
breaks for the new Error exceptions under PHP 7.
It's because set_exception_handler() changed behavior in PHP 7.
Code that implements an exception handler registered with set_exception_handler() using a type declaration of Exception will cause a fatal error when an Error object is thrown.
If the handler needs to work on both PHP 5 and 7, you should remove the type declaration from the handler, while code that is being migrated to work on PHP 7 exclusively can simply replace the Exception type declaration with Throwable instead.
<?php // PHP 5 era code that will break. function handler(Exception $e) { ... } set_exception_handler('handler'); // PHP 5 and 7 compatible. function handler($e) { ... } // PHP 7 only. function handler(Throwable $e) { ... } ?>
Upgrading to anything beyond 3.0.2 will fix your issue.
