## #3352 — pollita@php.net — 2003-07-11T03:10:25+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/3352#3352

ext/pfpro/pfpro.c has several php_error_docref() calls (particularly in
pfpro_process) which issue `E_ERROR` (Fatal Errors/Non-recoverable) in
situations where an `E_WARNING` would seem more appropriate (as it would allow
the calling script to recover and continue.

Is there a particular reason a fatal error would be thrown in this case?
