I am prototyping on a PHP5 application using PEAR and I ran into a strange error.

if (PEAR::isError($mReturn)) {
   throw $mReturn;
}

PEAR is not configured to return exceptions instead of PEAR Errors and the above code will generate the following error if $mReturn is a PEAR Error.

PHP Fatal error: Exceptions must valid objects that are derived from class Exception in E:\PHPSource\PHPFTP\Source\include\\db.inc.php on line 226

Why must I use the built in exception class? The explantion in release notes for PHPb4 is that it allows a general catch(Exception $e) statement to catch all exceptions.

Isn't that up to the developer to deal with it?
