I don't know of any document that explicitly handles PHP's exceptions, but http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ExceptionPatterns is probably a good starting point. And Joel Spolsky has some thoughts on the topic, too: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2003/10/13.html. To some extent I have the feeling that relying on exceptions will overtax a lot of PEAR developers: Even if one is a talented programmer, it is very likely that it takes years to get a good feeling about when it is appropriate to use exceptions and when not. Thus I'm not sure if PEAR (and its users) will benefit much from an extensive exception usage. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
