Description: ------------ File: MDB2.php. Line: 978. $this->PEAR_Error() is an invalid call because PEAR.php has been upgraded and the PEAR_Error class now defines the ::__construct() constructor instead of ::PEAR_Error() constructor. If MDB2 tries to throw an MDB2_Error, this causes a fatal php error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in /usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978 Test script: --------------- <?php require_once('MDB2.php'); $error = new MDB2_Error('test'); echo "Hello"; Expected result: ---------------- It should print "Hello" to the console when run on the shell. Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in /usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /home/username/test.php:0 PHP 2. MDB2_Error->__construct() /home/username/test.php:3 Fatal error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in /usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978 Call Stack: 0.0003 222376 1. {main}() /home/username/test.php:0 0.0088 1004416 2.

I think the simple and hopefullly correct fix here is to replace the $this->PEAR_Error() call with parent::__construct(). I am not sure on exactly how patches are meant to be formatted for submission, though.

Added patch fix-pear_error-constructor.

Upgrade your PEAR install. Commit 64782496 re-added the PEAR_Error() method. None the less, I'll change the MDB2 code to use __construct().

Fix committed.
