Re: PHP5 and NON-exceptional error handling

The closer to PHP core functions, the better IMO. Greg's solution provides more features but also means more to know before being able to get started with PEAR. If you really want to return error codes, you can just document what your function returns, but in many cases using exceptions is enough and more powerful. On the other hand, I am not strongly against Greg's solution since it's only a set of interfaces. But if nobody uses them, they might endup in Siberia. -- Bertrand Mansion Mamasam Tel : +33 1 48 89 88 26 http://www.mamasam.com Creative Internet Solutions
