PEAR_ErrorStack::pop() -- Pop an error off of the error stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::popCallback() -- Remove a callback from the error callback stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::push() -- Add an error to the stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::pushCallback() -- Set an error Callback If set to a valid callback, this will be called every time an error is pushed onto the stack. The return value will be used to determine whether to allow an error to be pushed or logged.
PEAR_ErrorStack::raiseError() -- emulate PEAR::raiseError()
PEAR_ErrorStack::setContextCallback() -- Set an error code => error message mapping callback

PEAR_ErrorStack::setErrorMessageTemplate() -- Set the Error Message Template array
PEAR_ErrorStack::setLogger() -- Set up a PEAR::Log object for this error stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::setMessageCallback() -- Set an error code => error message mapping callback
PEAR_ErrorStack::singleton() -- Return a single error stack for this package.
PEAR_ErrorStack::staticGetErrors() -- Get a list of all errors since last purge, organized by package
PEAR_ErrorStack::staticHasErrors() -- Determine whether there are any errors on any error stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::staticPopCallback() -- Remove a callback from every error callback stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::staticPush() -- Static version of push()
PEAR_ErrorStack::staticPushCallback() -- Set an error Callback for every package's error stack
PEAR_ErrorStack::_log() -- Log an error using PEAR::Log
Package PEAR_ErrorStack Constants -- Constants defined in and used by PEAR_ErrorStack

PEAR_ErrorStack is an experimental error raising and handling implementation for PEAR that is designed to replace PEAR_Error when it has stabilized. PEAR_ErrorStack is both backwards compatible with PEAR_Error and forward compatible with PHP 5's Exception class. There are many other features, all described in the Introduction.

Usage: 
1      // global error stack
2      $global_stack = &PEAR_ErrorStack::singleton('MyPackage');
3      // local error stack
4      $local_stack = new PEAR_ErrorStack('MyPackage');
