Re: idea: letting the line number and file name be set via user_error

Hi! > So the error messages your library produces have the same consistent > look and feel to them that PHP's errors do? While it may be nice, I don't think it is worth changing the PHP API for. Error messages have very defined api, which has the place in the source where they were actually produced. > Besides, keeping in mind the KISS "keep it simple stupid" principal > gratuitous information should probably be hidden away.

Now, it may not be *all* the information you need, but error messages are simple things, they are not meant to replace debugger with full backtrace and stack inspection. I don't think it needs added complications just to have some library messages look a little nicer. In any case, one can install custom error handler which would format messages for user errors differently, if desired. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
