Hi, I was just wondering what the difference is between PEAR::raiseError() and returning a PEAR_Error object. Say for instance: function getName() { ....... if ($errors) { 
      return new PEAR_Error('could not find name');
} else { 
      return $name;
} } OR function getName() { ...... if ($errors) { 
      PEAR::raiseError('could not find name');
} else { 
      return $name;
} } Which one would be better? Are there cases in which one method is preferable? Worked it out myself (I think).
Returning a new Pear_error object is not affected by static calls to PEAR::setErrorhandler and PEAR::expectError etc.. Cheers Jeroen
