## #46528 — Hans-Peter Oeri — 2009-12-27T16:01:53+00:00

Hi!

As some already know, I'm using the holidays to prepare a proposal for
error handling in extensions
(https://saintcyr.oeri.ch/trac/php-intl/wiki/ErrorHandling).

Digging through many zend internals, I wonder if there is a possibility
to use a common ancestor class without cluttering namespaces in php.

Something like

class CommonErrorThings;
class ResourceBundle extends CommonErrorThings;
class Collator extends CommonErrorThings;
in which CommonErrorThings is invisible to PHP and
ResourceBundle/Collator offered to the user.

Any doc and/or example link would be greatly appreciated

Happy Holidays
HPO
