Re: DB Exceptions - Sample Code

Thanks for the sample code, Aurthur. It definitely helps make for grounded discussion. Arthur Hundiak wrote:

Done. http://www.cerad.org/pear/index.php

What I don't understand is how you can both have configurable error handling *and* use exceptions within your package. For example, I woudln't want to this:

if (DB::isError($result) || $result === DB_OK) {

    return $result;

} else {

    $tmp = new DB_result($this, $result);
    return $tmp;

}

Not in a PHP5 package when I had ability to use try/catch blocks. I think that exceptions are useful both within packages as well as between them. How do you allow a package to use exceptions internally but have the errors that leave the package be either exceptions or return-code? -- especially when many public methods are being called internally also.
