Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] in_class_exists() for detecting __autoload() called by class_exists() and interface_exists()

Another possibility: could there be a way to add context information (a string) to the error message the engine displays? This would alleviate my concern. Why not just log it into some logfile? Remember that autoloaders can be chained, so engine would have to assemble all strings, display them

naive question: how do you define your exception which needs to onherit Exception? Are you doing this: class Exception extends ::exception { } Inside namespace - yes, that's the best way. In fact, I think Exception extends Exception may work too, but that would be seriously confusing :)
