@sgolemon @remicollet is this okay in 7.2 ?

Sure. This is a low-impact change and only shows up in the error path. I'll merge to 7.2 and bring forward.

Actually, a quick scan shows ext/pdo_mysql/tests/bug44327.phpt still has the old error message.
Also, a quick scan of the PR shows @laruence can push the change himself. :D

Go ahead and merge to 7.2/master once you've addressed the remaining test.

I'm the original request owner :)

What about extend this improvement to function calls on objects?

"Error: Calling function on non-object" as "Error: Calling function 'getName' on non-object".

Detailed request at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74963

Thanks a lot :)

I am not sure what do you mean, it should already act like that now:

$non_obj = NULL;
$non_obj->func();

output:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function func() on null

Same as property example:

<?php
$user = new stdClass;

echo $user->getName();

NOW: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method stdClass::getName()
IMPROVEMENT: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method stdClass::getName() on object 'user'

Regards.
