Actually, from my look at it, almost all E_WARNINGs, a number of E_NOTICEs (the ones that make sense to transition, like array to string cast), E_RECOVERABLE and certain E_ERROR (such as call to undefined method, etc) can be turned pretty easily. The ones that can't (without significant change to the engine at least) are deeper E_ERROR, E_CORE_*, and E_PARSE... Take a look at the library I am linking to deeper down. All of those errors are core thrown errors that can be easily turned into exceptions. Plus the E_ERROR that I couldn't, but we can in core (again, call to undefined method, etc)... > > I don't think that, personally, PHP's current error handling system is > > sufficient for properly handling errors. > > > It is working for years, it could be improved but I wouldn't call it > insufficient. Any system where it's **harder** to handle the error properly than to ignore it is insufficient in my book. The fact that you need something like this: https://github.com/ircmaxell/ErrorExceptions to handle errors properly as exceptions (to be notified not that an error occured, but the type of error) is indicative of that...
