The only problem is that php itself (nor core, nor extensions) throw exceptions, so you can't threat errors uniformly, but you cant have a custom error handler, and throw exceptions from there, and you can also have an exception handler. I have used this approach in several projects, and i admit it takes some getting used to, but it's an easy, clean, nice way to handle exceptions / errors / conditions. > > > J > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Torok, Alpar Istvan
