Elephander: Composable Error Handlers and Typehint Shenanigans
==============================================================

[](#elephander-composable-error-handlers-and-typehint-shenanigans)

An assortment of utilities which are useful but potentially ill-advised.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer install bettrlife/elephander
```

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

### class ErrorHandler

[](#class-errorhandler)

A mechanism for managing multiple error handlers and dispatching to them based on the error’s level and descriptive string.

### class Exceptionizer

[](#class-exceptionizer)

Turns PHP errors (and optionally warnings) into Exceptions. Each error/warning level has a specific exception type so you can easily catch exact error codes and let the rest bubble up. Integrates with ErrorHandler.

### class TypeHintHandler

[](#class-typehinthandler)

Gives you the ability to define non-class typehints and to convert function arguments based on typehints. Integrates with ErrorHandler.

### class DynamicScope

[](#class-dynamicscope)

Provides dynamically-scoped data.
