Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

[Karel S.]

We have a plugin for banners, something like this:

{banner type="bla"}

I made a typo last time:

{banners type="bla"}

And Smarty says:

Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on
line 0

I did some testing, Smarty throws this with every error:

{bla bla} or {$product.name|url} (modifier that doesn't exist)

Gives me that same error.

I use the latest SVN version.

I don't see this kind of error. Do you use a custom exception handler?

What is your version of PHP? Try the newest version 5.3.2

I often have this error, for the following reason.

I have created a Controller class. To assign a variable to smarty I
call $myView->getSmarty()->assign(...) - the getSmarty() function
creates the Smarty object if it doesn't exist, and returns the object
itself and the assign is then called.

I then either call display() or fetch explicitly, or if they haven't
been called and the Smarty object exists, the class __destruct() calls
$getSmarty()->display().

As I am in the __destruct() part of the class, the object now doesn't
exist. If there now is an exception for any reason at all, the error
is "Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on
line 0" as PHP no longer has a reference to pass on.

So my advice is to look whether the context exist that you are calling
Smarty from.

@uwe

No custom exception handler.

@insekticid

5.3 is to new, we follow the 5.2.x branch.

I tested once again with a fresh copy from the SVN. I can't reproduce
the problem.

Did you try to install a new copy?

I did some more testing but I can't reproduce it anymore. Very strange.

It's an old thread, but I just faced this error, so maybe this would help someone.

It occurred because disk free space was zero.
