More valuable error message handling

Hi, I think many people agree that PHPs means for a developer to get the last error message(s) are way suboptimal. INI(track_errors) and $php_errormsg or hacking some error handler magic are--despite sep. extension facilities--the only one that come to mind, both cumbersome and unintuitive. I therefore propose some new functionality with possibly this 3 new functions: - error_get_last() Get the last error message. - error_get_all() Get an array of all occurred errors. - error_clear_all() Reset error stack. Return values and parameters are subject to discussion, as well as when PHP puts errors into this stack, eventually if track_errors is enabled? Thoughts, objections, flames? PS: Sorry, if that comes through twice. Regards, -- Michael
