Subject: PHP5: Exceptions must valid objects that are derived from class Exception?
From: erik@nordicaudi.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Erik_Franz=E9n?=)

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?
