There´s an easier way. PEAR::DB, like all classes that extend the PEAR base class, have a built-in method that determines whether an object is a PEAR_Error object or not, so there´s no need to reinvent the wheel. Just rewrite your error handler like this: function handle_errors ($error) { if (DB::isError($error) { echo($error->getMessage()); } } If the information you get out of getMessage() is not sufficient, you can also use toString(), which basically provides a dump of all properties of the error object.
