Fwd: failure notice

Can someone let us know when the php-pear list is back online? -chuck ----- Forwarded message from MAILER-DAEMON@toye.php.net ----- <php-pear@lists.php.net>: That is not a valid email address. --- Below this line is a copy of the message. Quoting Stig Bakken <ssb@fast.no>: > The details of "an error is a negative integer between -1 and -999" is > hidden from the user.

This looks like as good a way as we're going to get with what is currently allowed by PHP. > PHP has lots of functions with "mixed" return types. I like your > suggestion, but I think the created error objects should be returned. > That is the only way the user can catch and handle the errors. Here I strongly agree. It seems like if a user wants an error handler function, it would be easy to take a returned Exception and pass it to the error handler. But if they don't want an error handler function, it's hard to make a system that is designed to use an error handler return exceptions. We can even include an example Pear_Error_Handler class that does reasonable things with any exception passed to it. But I don't want to be forced to use it. So, where are things with this? Ulf, you mentioned that your system took about 200 lines of code - does that mean you have code that you could let us see? I'd be interested in getting this rolling a little bit more. ... and while we're on PEAR, two more questions: Ulf, how is phpdoc coming? And Stig, did you catch any of the javadoc debate, and if so, what is your opinion on the inline docs in PEAR? -chuck ----- End forwarded message -----
