In your example I don't see also when you restore the error handler, may be before raise the error? Isn't that equivalent to pop/push error handlers? > Check out the PEAR class from CVS to test it.

The thing that's missing > from it now is stacking, so you can push and pop expected errors. Perhaps we could simplify things (at least pop/push) and do all only with setErrorHandling. For example: // push a new mode $db->setErrorHandling($mode); $err = $db->query(); // pop if no args $db->setErrorHandling(); Tomas V.V.Cox
