Re: [Seagull-general] Re: [PEAR] error handling and conditional inclusion of PEAR.php

Hi Stefan

Hi, you have to at least include PEAR.php, but not extend from it. PEAR::isError() is a static call - so there is no need that the class extends from PEAR. However, you are true that for every script using

already doing that ;-)

isEror() PEAR.php would have to be loaded - which might be unnecessary overhead in certain scripts. Therefor afaik some people are using is_a($result, 'PEAR_Error') ... maybe that would be a cleaner solution to the problem, since you won't have to include PEAR.php just for the check?

excellent - this is a great solution, thanks - you just saved me 1000 LOC per page exec. I haven't had time to follow the lists too closely recently but I imagine there is something in the works so DB doesn't unconditionally include PEAR as well? MDB2? cheers Demian
