I don't really see why try/catch shouldn't be used for things like loadXML. A DOMException is raised for EVERYTHING but loadXML, or load. Why should they be treated differently from the other DOM methods? It's been a real pain porting my sablotron based XML/XSLT transformation code to php5, and even with all the hacks I implemented, it's nowhere NEAR the kind of error reporting I could do with the sablotron XSLT module. I truly believe this should be reinvestigated. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-03 10:01:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHP 5.1 will have new error handling functionality (nothing written yet, but will almost certainly not use try/catch but error handler callbacks) You have to wait for that... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 18:15:39] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Description: ------------ I have just started using the new DOM and XSL classes in PHP5, and one thing I really find annoying is the difficulty in trapping errors. I tried to use the new try... catch... syntax but this does not work. I have worked out another way of detecting errors from these two classes, but it is very messy. Can they be changed to use the new try...cath... syntax? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29495&edit=1
