Class PEAR

Class Overview

Base class for other PEAR classes. Provides rudimentary emulation of destructors.

If you want a destructor in your class, inherit PEAR and make a destructor method called _yourclassname (same name as the constructor, but with a "_" prefix). Also, in your constructor you have to call the PEAR constructor: $this->PEAR();. The destructor method will be called without parameters. Note that at in some SAPI implementations (such as Apache), any output during the request shutdown (in which destructors are called) seems to be discarded. If you need to get any debug information from your destructor, use error_log(), syslog() or something similar.

IMPORTANT! To use the emulated destructors you need to create the objects by reference: $obj =& new PEAR_child;

Method Summary
void   PEAR()   Constructor. Registers this object in $_PEAR_destructor_object_list for destructor emulation if a destructor object exists.
mixed   delExpect()   This method deletes all occurences of the specified element from the expected error codes stack.
int   expectError()   This method is used to tell which errors you expect to get.
mixed   &getStaticProperty()   If you have a class that's mostly/entirely static, and you need static
bool   isError()   Tell whether a value is a PEAR error.
bool   loadExtension()   OS independant PHP extension load. Remember to take care on the correct extension name for case sensitive OSes.
bool   popErrorHandling()   Pop the last error handler used
array   popExpect()   This method pops one element off the expected error codes stack.
bool   pushErrorHandling()   Push a new error handler on top of the error handler options stack. With this you can easily override the actual error handler for some code and restore it later with popErrorHandling.
object a   &raiseError()   This method is a wrapper that returns an instance of the configured error class with this object's default error handling applied. If the $mode and $options parameters are not specified, the object's defaults are used.
void   registerShutdownFunc()   Use this function to register a shutdown method for static classes.
void   setErrorHandling()   Sets how errors generated by this object should be handled.
void   staticPopErrorHandling()  
void   staticPushErrorHandling()  
void   &throwError()   Simpler form of raiseError with fewer options. In most cases message, code and userinfo are enough.
void   _PEAR()   Destructor (the emulated type of...). Does nothing right now, but is included for forward compatibility, so subclass destructors should always call it.

Methods
Constructor PEAR  [line 170]

  void PEAR( [string $error_class = null]  )

Constructor. Registers this object in $_PEAR_destructor_object_list for destructor emulation if a destructor object exists.

Parameters:
string   $error_class:  (optional) which class to use for error objects, defaults to PEAR_Error.

API Tags:
Access:  public


[ Top ]
delExpect  [line 455]

  mixed delExpect( mixed $error_code  )

This method deletes all occurences of the specified element from the expected error codes stack.

Parameters:
mixed   $error_code:  error code that should be deleted

API Tags:
Return:  list of error codes that were deleted or error
Access:  public

Information Tags:
Since:  PHP 4.3.0

[ Top ]
expectError  [line 390]

  int expectError( [mixed $code = '*']  )

This method is used to tell which errors you expect to get.

Expected errors are always returned with error mode PEAR_ERROR_RETURN. Expected error codes are stored in a stack, and this method pushes a new element onto it. The list of expected errors are in effect until they are popped off the stack with the popExpect() method.

Note that this method can not be called statically

Parameters:
mixed   $code:  a single error code or an array of error codes to expect

API Tags:
Return:  the new depth of the "expected errors" stack
Access:  public


[ Top ]
getStaticProperty  [line 230]

  mixed &getStaticProperty( string $class, string $var  )

If you have a class that's mostly/entirely static, and you need static

properties, you can use this method to simulate them. Eg. in your method(s) do this: $myVar = &PEAR::getStaticProperty('myclass', 'myVar'); You MUST use a reference, or they will not persist!

Parameters:
string   $class:  The calling classname, to prevent clashes
string   $var:  The variable to retrieve.

API Tags:
Return:  A reference to the variable. If not set it will be auto initialised to NULL.
Access:  public


[ Top ]
isError  [line 279]

  bool isError( mixed $data, [int $code = null]  )

Tell whether a value is a PEAR error.

Parameters:
mixed   $data:  the value to test
int   $code:  if $data is an error object, return true only if $code is a string and $obj->getMessage() == $code or $code is an integer and $obj->getCode() == $code

API Tags:
Return:  true if parameter is an error
Access:  public


[ Top ]
loadExtension  [line 741]

  bool loadExtension( string $ext  )

OS independant PHP extension load. Remember to take care on the correct extension name for case sensitive OSes.

Parameters:
string   $ext:  The extension name

API Tags:
Return:  Success or not on the dl() call


[ Top ]
popErrorHandling  [line 717]

  bool popErrorHandling( )

Pop the last error handler used


API Tags:
Return:  Always true
See:  PEAR::pushErrorHandling


[ Top ]
popExpect  [line 409]

  array popExpect( )

This method pops one element off the expected error codes stack.


API Tags:
Return:  the list of error codes that were popped


[ Top ]
pushErrorHandling  [line 686]

  bool pushErrorHandling( mixed $mode, [mixed $options = null]  )

Push a new error handler on top of the error handler options stack. With this you can easily override the actual error handler for some code and restore it later with popErrorHandling.

Parameters:
mixed   $mode:  (same as setErrorHandling)
mixed   $options:  (same as setErrorHandling)

API Tags:
Return:  Always true
See:  PEAR::setErrorHandling

raiseError  [line 524]

  object a &raiseError( [mixed $message = null], [int $code = null], [int $mode = null], [mixed $options = null], [string $userinfo = null], [string $error_class = null], [bool $skipmsg = false]  )

This method is a wrapper that returns an instance of the configured error class with this object's default error handling applied. If the $mode and $options parameters are not specified, the object's defaults are used.

Parameters:
mixed   $message:  a text error message or a PEAR error object
int   $code:  a numeric error code (it is up to your class to define these if you want to use codes)
int   $mode:  One of PEAR_ERROR_RETURN, PEAR_ERROR_PRINT, PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, PEAR_ERROR_DIE, PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, PEAR_ERROR_EXCEPTION.
mixed   $options:  If $mode is PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, this parameter specifies the PHP-internal error level (one of E_USER_NOTICE, E_USER_WARNING or E_USER_ERROR). If $mode is PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, this parameter specifies the callback function or method. In other error modes this parameter is ignored.
string   $userinfo:  If you need to pass along for example debug information, this parameter is meant for that.
string   $error_class:  The returned error object will be instantiated from this class, if specified.
bool   $skipmsg:  If true, raiseError will only pass error codes, the error message parameter will be dropped.

API Tags:
Return:  PEAR error object
See:  PEAR::setErrorHandling
Access:  public

registerShutdownFunc  [line 254]

  void registerShutdownFunc( mixed $func, [mixed $args = array()]  )

Use this function to register a shutdown method for static classes.

Parameters:
mixed   $func:  The function name (or array of class/method) to call
mixed   $args:  The arguments to pass to the function

API Tags:
Access:  public


[ Top ]
setErrorHandling  [line 335]

  void setErrorHandling( [int $mode = null], [mixed $options = null]  )

Sets how errors generated by this object should be handled.

Can be invoked both in objects and statically. If called statically, setErrorHandling sets the default behaviour for all PEAR objects. If called in an object, setErrorHandling sets the default behaviour for that object.

Parameters:
int   $mode:  One of PEAR_ERROR_RETURN, PEAR_ERROR_PRINT, PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, PEAR_ERROR_DIE, PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK or PEAR_ERROR_EXCEPTION.
mixed   $options: 

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, this is the error level (one of E_USER_NOTICE, E_USER_WARNING or E_USER_ERROR).

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, this parameter is expected to be the callback function or method. A callback function is a string with the name of the function, a callback method is an array of two elements: the element at index 0 is the object, and the element at index 1 is the name of the method to call in the object.

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_PRINT or PEAR_ERROR_DIE, this is a printf format string used when printing the error message.

Parameters:
string   $message: 
   $code: 
   $userinfo:

_PEAR  [line 209]

  void _PEAR( )

Destructor (the emulated type of...). Does nothing right now, but is included for forward compatibility, so subclass destructors should always call it.

See the note in the class desciption about output from destructors.
