However they are not so misleading as to be bugs. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-01 23:28:21] yosmanyga at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Most of the SPL exceptions describe themselves in the name (see http://php.net/manual/en/spl.exceptions.php): BadFunctionCallException => Bad function call BadMethodCallException => Bad method call OutOfRangeException => Out of range But what about DomainException or LengthException. It doesn't express what's the problem. IMHO it should be called BadDomainAdhereException and InvalidLengthException respectively. I also see a problem with InvalidArgumentException. An argument with a problem related to an out of range or invalid length is also an invalid argument. So why InvalidArgumentException, LengthException and OutOfRangeException are sibling? RangeException doesn't describe the problem neither.
