Right! I was mentioning that - no translation or any kind of other flexibility on errors is possible if there is no solid error code logic accomplished. These would help really a lot. Even if messges will never be localized, error codes will still be helpful a whole bunch. > But the task of maintaining such a registry, and avoiding that it > degenerates into a chaotic mess, requires an amount of collective > self-discipline that I simply don't think a big project like PHP can > muster. I doubt it adds all that much of complexity as many think. of course, it requires going through them all over and then, when coding, looking up for the code conventions. But, IMO, this all is not such a disaster to do. It can help more. > Let's try being realistic, and focus on the quick wins first, such as > good error codes. Amen!
