The `errors/exceptions` package
===============================

[](#the-errorsexceptions-package)

Adding this package as a dependency indicates that the root package is designed to work with exception-based error handling as described in the [specification](https://github.com/php-errors/specification/blob/master/exception-based-error-handler.md), and will *not* work correctly with the [native](https://github.com/php-errors/native) errors that PHP produces by default:

```
composer require errors/exceptions

```

This package installs an exception-based error handler upon installation. It is not necessary to manually install the error handler via [`set_error_handler()`](http://php.net/set_error_handler).

Providing an alternate error handler
------------------------------------

[](#providing-an-alternate-error-handler)

To use an alternate error handler, simply install the alternate handler and use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)'s [provide](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#provide) option:

```
{
    "provide": {
        "errors/exceptions": "0.1.0"
    }
}
```

The "provided" error handler should still implement the [specification](https://github.com/php-errors/specification/blob/master/exception-based-error-handler.md).

Reporting deprecations
----------------------

[](#reporting-deprecations)

In some cases, such as CI builds, it is desirable to report on deprecations. To enable this behavior, set the environment variable `PHP_ERROR_EXCEPTION_DEPRECATIONS=1`.

Bypassing the error handler
---------------------------

[](#bypassing-the-error-handler)

For testing purposes only, it is possible to bypass the error handler by setting the environment variable `PHP_ERROR_EXCEPTIONS=0`.
