Methods


Child classes:

PEAR_Common
Class providing common functionality for PEAR administration classes.
PEAR_Command_Common
Base class for other PEAR classes. Provides rudimentary emulation of destructors.
PEAR_Frontend_CLI
Base class for other PEAR classes. Provides rudimentary emulation of destructors.
PEAR_Remote
This is a class for doing remote operations against the central PEAR database.
PEAR_Config
This is a class for storing configuration data, keeping track of which are system-defined, user-defined or defaulted.
PEAR_Registry
Administration class used to maintain the installed package database.
PEAR_Autoloader
This class is for objects where you want to separate the code for some methods into separate classes. This is useful if you have a class with not-frequently-used methods that contain lots of code that you would like to avoid always parsing.

Class Details

[line 85]
Base class for other PEAR classes. Provides rudimentary emulation of destructors.

If you want a destructor in your class, inherit PEAR and make a destructor method called _yourclassname (same name as the constructor, but with a "_" prefix). Also, in your constructor you have to call the PEAR constructor: $this->PEAR();. The destructor method will be called without parameters. Note that at in some SAPI implementations (such as Apache), any output during the request shutdown (in which destructors are called) seems to be discarded. If you need to get any debug information from your destructor, use error_log(), syslog() or something similar.

IMPORTANT! To use the emulated destructors you need to create the objects by reference: $obj =& new PEAR_child;

Method Detail

PEAR (Constructor)   [line 153]

void PEAR( [string $error_class = null])

Constructor. Registers this object in $_PEAR_destructor_object_list for destructor emulation if a destructor object exists.
  • Access: public

Parameters:

string   $error_class   —  (optional) which class to use for error objects, defaults to PEAR_Error.

[ Top ]

_PEAR (Destructor)   [line 192]

void _PEAR( )

Destructor (the emulated type of...). Does nothing right now, but is included for forward compatibility, so subclass destructors should always call it.

See the note in the class desciption about output from destructors.

  • Access: public

[ Top ]

delExpect   [line 426]

mixed delExpect( mixed $error_code)

This method deletes all occurences of the specified element from the expected error codes stack.
  • Return: list of error codes that were deleted or error
  • Since: PHP 4.3.0
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $error_code   —  error code that should be deleted

[ Top ]

expectError   [line 361]

int expectError( [mixed $code = '*'])

This method is used to tell which errors you expect to get.

Expected errors are always returned with error mode PEAR_ERROR_RETURN. Expected error codes are stored in a stack, and this method pushes a new element onto it. The list of expected errors are in effect until they are popped off the stack with the popExpect() method.

Note that this method can not be called statically

  • Return: the new depth of the "expected errors" stack
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $code   —  a single error code or an array of error codes to expect

[ Top ]

getStaticProperty   [line 213]

mixed &getStaticProperty( string $class, string $var)

If you have a class that's mostly/entirely static, and you need static

properties, you can use this method to simulate them. Eg. in your method(s) do this: $myVar = &PEAR::getStaticProperty('myclass', 'myVar'); You MUST use a reference, or they will not persist!

  • Return: A reference to the variable. If not set it will be auto initialised to NULL.
  • Access: public

Parameters:

string   $class   —  The calling classname, to prevent clashes
string   $var   —  The variable to retrieve.

[ Top ]

isError   [line 250]

bool isError( mixed $data, [int $code = null])

Tell whether a value is a PEAR error.
  • Return: true if parameter is an error
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $data   —  the value to test
int   $code   —  if $data is an error object, return true only if $code is a string and $obj->getMessage() == $code or $code is an integer and $obj->getCode() == $code

[ Top ]

loadExtension   [line 708]

bool loadExtension( string $ext)

OS independant PHP extension load. Remember to take care on the correct extension name for case sensitive OSes.
  • Return: Success or not on the dl() call

Parameters:

string   $ext   —  The extension name

[ Top ]

popErrorHandling   [line 684]

bool popErrorHandling( )

Pop the last error handler used
  • Return: Always true
  • See: PEAR::pushErrorHandling

[ Top ]

popExpect   [line 380]

array popExpect( )

This method pops one element off the expected error codes stack.
  • Return: the list of error codes that were popped

[ Top ]

pushErrorHandling   [line 653]

bool pushErrorHandling( mixed $mode, [mixed $options = null])

Push a new error handler on top of the error handler options stack. With this you can easily override the actual error handler for some code and restore it later with popErrorHandling.
  • Return: Always true
  • See: PEAR::setErrorHandling

Parameters:

mixed   $mode   —  (same as setErrorHandling)
mixed   $options   —  (same as setErrorHandling)

raiseError   [line 495]

object a raiseError( [mixed $message = null], [int $code = null], [int $mode = null], [mixed $options = null], [string $userinfo = null], [string $error_class = null], [bool $skipmsg = false])

This method is a wrapper that returns an instance of the configured error class with this object's default error handling applied. If the $mode and $options parameters are not specified, the object's defaults are used.
  • Return: PEAR error object
  • See: PEAR::setErrorHandling
  • Since: PHP 4.0.5
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $message   —  a text error message or a PEAR error object
int   $code   —  a numeric error code (it is up to your class to define these if you want to use codes)
int   $mode   —  One of PEAR_ERROR_RETURN, PEAR_ERROR_PRINT, PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, PEAR_ERROR_DIE, PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, PEAR_ERROR_EXCEPTION.
mixed   $options   —  If $mode is PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, this parameter specifies the PHP-internal error level (one of E_USER_NOTICE, E_USER_WARNING or E_USER_ERROR). If $mode is PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, this parameter specifies the callback function or method. In other error modes this parameter is ignored.
string   $userinfo   —  If you need to pass along for example debug information, this parameter is meant for that.
string   $error_class   —  The returned error object will be instantiated from this class, if specified.
bool   $skipmsg   —  If true, raiseError will only pass error codes, the error message parameter will be dropped.

[ Top ]

registerShutdownFunc   [line 231]

void registerShutdownFunc( mixed $func, [mixed $args = array()])

Use this function to register a shutdown method for static classes.
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $func   —  The function name (or array of class/method) to call
mixed   $args   —  The arguments to pass to the function

[ Top ]

setErrorHandling   [line 306]

void setErrorHandling( [int $mode = null], [mixed $options = null])

Sets how errors generated by this object should be handled.

Can be invoked both in objects and statically. If called statically, setErrorHandling sets the default behaviour for all PEAR objects. If called in an object, setErrorHandling sets the default behaviour for that object.

  • See: PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK
  • See: PEAR_ERROR_EXCEPTION
  • See: PEAR_ERROR_DIE
  • See: PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER
  • See: PEAR_ERROR_RETURN
  • See: PEAR_ERROR_PRINT
  • Since: PHP 4.0.5
  • Access: public

Parameters:

int   $mode   —  One of PEAR_ERROR_RETURN, PEAR_ERROR_PRINT, PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, PEAR_ERROR_DIE, PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK or PEAR_ERROR_EXCEPTION.
mixed   $options   — 

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER, this is the error level (one of E_USER_NOTICE, E_USER_WARNING or E_USER_ERROR).

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, this parameter is expected to be the callback function or method. A callback function is a string with the name of the function, a callback method is an array of two elements: the element at index 0 is the object, and the element at index 1 is the name of the method to call in the object.

When $mode is PEAR_ERROR_PRINT or PEAR_ERROR_DIE, this is a printf format string used when printing the error message.

[ Top ]

staticPushErrorHandling   [line 568]

void staticPushErrorHandling( $mode, [ $options = null])


Parameters:

   $mode   — 
   $options   —

throwError   [line 556]

void throwError( [string $message = null], [ $code = null], [ $userinfo = null])

Simpler form of raiseError with fewer options. In most cases message, code and userinfo are enough.

Parameters:

string   $message   — 
   $code   — 
   $userinfo   —
