An error code should be above '10' (just to be prepared...)

That's fine. Why 10? :) Because 42 ist too high... Why have 3GHz Prozessors

still an A20-gate?

debugging difficult. The only part I am not sure I do understand is "should never lack to an application user," could you rephrase that? s/lack/pass

What does addUserInfo() do? the manual page says: Adds an user information to the error object.

addUserInfo() allows you to store an additional string, ie. to add a more user-understandable message, without loosing the original message. you could do ie: function dbConnect() ... if(PEAR::isError($db)) { $db->addUserInfo("DB isn't currently avaible, please try

        later");

return $db; } ... } .... $blah=dbConnect(); if(PEAR::isError($blah)) { logError($blah->getMessage(), $blah->getCode()); printError($blah->getUserInfo()); }
