Large frameworks often use objects to represent errors.
<?php
class simple {
function getName($id)
{
if ($id == 10) {
return "Sterling";
} else {
$err = &new simple_error(-10,
"Invalid id given!");
return $err;
}
}
}
class simple_error {
var $str;
var $number;
function simple_error($number, $str)
{
$this->str = $str;
$this->number = $number;
}
}
// start sample code
$s = &new simple;
$name = $s->getName(20);
if (is_object($name)) {
die ("An error occured " .
"[{$name->number}]: " .
"{$name->str}\n");
}
else {
print "Name for ID 20 was found\n";
}
