PEAR_Exception is the recommended error handling solution for PHP 5-based
packages in PEAR. PEAR_Exception is a lightweight wrapper above the
built-in Exception class in PHP 5 that provides the
ability to specify causes for errors, register observers, and many more
features.
Exceptions in general should be used only for exceptional circumstances - for
error conditions that require termination of execution. PEAR_Exception should
mainly be used for transmitting error information outside the existing package,
and not for normal flow control. Use
Control Structures in favor of exceptions wherever possible.

There is a simple workaround for full PHP5 applications to convert "creating a PEAR_Error" to "throwing PEAR_Exception":
<?php
function PEAR_ErrorToPEAR_Exception($err)
{
if ($err->getCode()) {
throw new PEAR_Exception($err->getMessage(), $err->getCode());
}
throw new PEAR_Exception($err->getMessage());
}
PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, 'PEAR_ErrorToPEAR_Exception');
?>
This way, each time a PEAR_Error is created in an old
PEAR package it is immediately converted and thrown as
a PEAR_Exception.
This is particularly useful for several old PEAR packages, and notably important ones such as MDB2, which still use PEAR_Error reporting and will continue to do so in order to maintain PHP4 compatibility.
