Hi Lukas,

I am wondering if we have come up with some magic to handle the following issue with exceptions. Currently using PEAR_Error I can build up a stack of expected errors which should not cause the standard error handling callback to be called and thereby let local error handling take over.

I'm not sure I understand this, can you provide/point to an exmple?

Well lets say the lib would create a set of exceptions which I want to demote to warnings or even ignore. Lets say there are 4 types of exceptions that I want to ignore or handle locally. which would mean try { // Normal execution code lines } catch (SomeException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherOtherOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } try { // More normal execution code lines } catch (SomeException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } catch (SomeOtherOtherOtherException e) { // Exception handling code lines // Exception handling code lines } whereas with PEAR_Error I would do: $this->expect(SomeOtherOtherOtherError) $this->expect(SomeOtherOtherOtherError) $this->expect(SomeOtherOtherOtherError) $this->expect(SomeOtherOtherOtherError) // Normal execution code lines // More normal execution code lines $this->popExpect() $this->popExpect() $this->popExpect() $this->popExpect() regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
