Currently all that is possible is creating a custom error handler and acting differently depending on what the error string is: can an error string really be relied upon to never change? I doubt it. What practical use, though? Most obviously, checking if a string is valid under a certain encoding. This is needed when processing real- world XML data, due to the vast amount sent with the wrong encoding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43743&edit=1
