Have a look at greg's error_raise package if you like error handling. www.chiarquartet.com/apidoc/ iirc.

Well, it's a decision - but it's not an "open" decision. If we're going to change the behaviour we would need to change it for the whole Validate - or state that we use it in all specialised classes. This or that way we whould have to agree upon something general (for Validate, and maybe for other packages too). As Bertrand put it: It's against the "keep it simple" [tm]

Wouldn't it be simpler to just stop all development altogether, and in fact, just use everything as is? There are plenty of validation solutions out there. In fact, wouldn't it be simpler to drop PHP altogether? Other languages do exactly the same thing. I guess I'm more of a "do it the best way" [tm] kind of guy. Simple can only go so far - it's simpler for the programmers of Validate, but is it really simpler for the users of Validate? If you do want to determine *why* something is broken, you can't. You must instead do a whole series of complex programming things to answer a question that could have been easily answered by the Validate class to begin with. Is that really simple? It would also be simpler to just live in the woods and kill what you plan on eating when you want to eat it. However, when you catch a debilitating disease from what you eat, it would be simpler to have a hospital around than to try to get better by yourself :). Greg P.S. it's www.chiaraquartet.net/apidoc - 3 a's in the word
