Re: Code Modifications Needed for Error Handling

Now, what this means is, whether you use PEAR_Error or PEAR_Exception, assuming you don't try...catch your exceptions, all errors will end up on the PEAR_ErrorStack (great if you're mixing 4&5 code). However, if you do try...catch any exception, it will not go on the ErrorStack.

I think at this point this discussion is moot. That said, the problem that jumps out immediately when I read your suggestion is this: How do you deal with PHP5 packages that use other PHP5 packages and hence use try / catch blocks ... ? Remember that PEAR packages don't only raise errors; they also check errors raised by other packages. Certainly if I were writing a PHP5 package that depended on others, I'd want to be able to take advantage of try / catch to handle exceptions. Again, though, the RFC for Exceptions in PHP5 packages finished. Thankfully we can now move on to addressing warnings and other related issues. -Hans
