Calls to undefined function NOT throwing errors

[AFTNHombre]

I have this code that has

$this->BeginTransaction();

all over it. These are in classes where no such function is defined, and they don't have parents either. It's driving my crazy trying to figure out why they are there, why there's not so much as a warning being given and what, if anything, is being called.

Now I do have a

set_error_handler("amfErrorHandler");

and in amfErrorHandler I have

if( error_reporting() != 0 && ($amfphpErrorLevel | $level) == $amfphpErrorLevel ) {
throw new VerboseException($string, $level, $file, $line);
}

I don't remember what $amfphpErrorLevel is, except that it should only be ignoring things like E_STRICT. Also, no exception is being thrown. So what do I do w/this code?

the error handler is using the bitwise or ( | ) operator. So $amfphpErrorLevel and $level must be integer representations of error levels. If an exception is not being thrown, then the conditions are not being met. Just from this code snippet I can't really help, there are too many things unanswered here.

So you're saying there are a ton of reasons why calling a function that's not defined in scope might not fail and the error handler absorbing it is only one? What are some others?

If you have a __Call function inside your class definition, this will handle any calls to undefined functions. Also, if your class is inheriting from a parent class, then the parent class may have that function defined.
