I'm not a huge fan of heavy exception throwing code, you end up wrapping huge blocks of code in try {}. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-01 17:22:53] crrodriguez at suse dot de Exceptions only IMHO, it is a "new" OOP only extension, kinda odd that it throws only notices on errors... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-31 19:22:22] cellog@php.net Description: ------------ SQLite3->__construct does not indicate errors by anything other than an E_NOTICE. This means we have to set a user error handler just to tell whether or not this code succeeds: <?php $a = new SQLite3('/path/to/database.sqlite'); ?> the constructor should throw an exception, or provide an error string parameter by reference like the SQLite object. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // run as non-root $a = new SQLite3('/root/database.sqlite'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- exception Actual result: -------------- E_NOTICE error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47257&edit=1
