Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [Zend Engine 2] Type hints revisited [IllegalArgumentExceptioninstead of E_ERROR]

[Shane Caraveo]

Well, if set_error_handler could catch E_ERROR errors (and not bail), 
then errors could be changed to exceptions in user space.  I already use 
this in the soap library to catch invalid parameters, which I beleive 
are only warnings.  Not being able to catch exceptions on type hints 
will make them pretty useless to me.

I don't see any major advantage in doing this. I think we should keep 
PHP error handling the same as in PHP 4 and leave exceptions in 
user-land. Otherwise we'll end up having an unmanageable hybrid because 
there's no way we're going to change the error-handling of the existing 
internal functions. The majority of our user base is still functional, 
please don't forget this. I feel that people here tend to forget that.
