PHP Extension and Application Repository

Release Notes - 0.2.0

• Covert namespace to PEAR2
• Removed getCause() as it just uses the built in getPrevious() that was added in PHP 5.3
• Removed getUniqueId as it's used anywhere
• Removed toHtml, toText and __toString (which only handled calling the former two). People should implement their owny decorator calls.
• Removed the built in outputs of the observer functions. Those where the class constants OBSERVER_PRINT, OBSERVER_TRIGGER, OBSERVER_DIE This can be achieved by writing a custom callback function, using the appropriate printf(), trigger_error and die() to achieve the same result.
• Removed getErroClass and getErrorMethod as it can be easily gotten from getTrace/getTraceSafe first array element
• Add the proper LICENSE file and move Exception.php to the NEW BSD license as the package.xml already defines

• Removed __toString, toText and toHtml. For those wanting to get pretty outputs they can use this approach:

  $causes = array(); $this->getCauseMessage($causes); foreach ($causes as $i => $cause) { var_dump($cause); }

  And combine that with getTraceSafe() or getTraceAsString() if needed.

  Put all that in a function and use set_exception_handler('exceptionHandler'); or similar to process all Exceptions.

  Example code or see the removed code at http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear2/Exception/trunk/src/Exception.php?r1=295348&r2=295352 :

  function exceptionHandler($e) { if ($e instanceof \PEAR2\Exception) { $causes = array(); $e->getCauseMessage($causes); $causeMsg = ''; foreach ($causes as $i => $cause) { $causeMsg .= str_repeat(' ', $i) . $cause['class'] . ': ' . $cause['message'] . "\n"; } echo $causeMsg; } else { echo $e->getMessage(), "\n"; } }

  set_exception_handler('exceptionHandler');
