Re: PEAR::setErrorHandling

Hi, There is no solution with existing code. What I would recommend is to copy the source of setErrorHandling() into a method in your extended object and simply set global error handling manually. There is no chance that BC will break in the future with regards to error handling because PEAR_Error is deprecated in favor of exceptions and pear_errorstack, and so no further development on PEAR_Error will occur.

Hi everybody, I have a problem with setErrorHandling. I wish to switch error handler while executing a piece of code. So I wrote something like : class test extends PEAR {

    function init() {
        PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, 'temp_error_handler');
        $this->mymethod (); // mymethod is executing some parsing,etc;..
        PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, 'error_handler');
    }

} ==> And the error handler is set to $this instead of been set as global ??? If you look at the beginning of the PEAR::setErrorHandling method you read :

       if (isset($this) && is_a($this, 'PEAR')) {
            $setmode     = &$this->_default_error_mode;
            $setoptions  = &$this->_default_error_options;
        } else {
            $setmode     = &$GLOBALS['_PEAR_default_error_mode'];
            $setoptions  = &$GLOBALS['_PEAR_default_error_options'];
        }
        ....

This means that if you call PEAR::setErrorHandling within an object, the error handler is assigned to the current object rather that to the global handler. How can I switch the global ErrorHandler within a object method ? Is it the way it is supposed to work ? thanks for your help fbm
