Question

I noticed that PHP doesn’t throw exception when I try to access a property from an object that is NULL. Is this correct? I would expect there would be some kind of error like in other languages.

Answer 1

It reports an error, a notice to be more correct

<?php

error_reporting(-1);

$var = null;
$var->prop;

echo 'Hello!';

results in:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /..../prog.php on line 6
Hello!
