Re: Why do disabled functions / classes generate a WARNING.

a php function/operation can raise more than one warning, how would you handle that? with exceptions you would only get the first one. another issue is that with the current error handling model a call can trigger a non-fatal error and still return some data. with exeptions you can't do that. so changing our internal error handling isn't as easy to start throwing ErrorException-s, it would require much more workthan that. Yes it is a bit more work than that. For example include issues two errors on include failure, I mute one of them and turn the other into an exception, which is one of the behaviors you've mentioned. There are ways to fix everything, but you have to be specific, if you want me to be specific as well. Either way I'm trying to give a practical solution you can implement today. Aside from practicality, I do also support the idea that accessing disabled symbols should be a fatal error, not a warning. Stan
