One of them is that PHP has two mechanisms for signaling errors: exceptions and warnings. The following code will by default not raise an exception:

```
$handle = fopen('no-such-file.txt', 'r');
```

It will generate a waring (which is most like to be suppressed) and return false.

This library will throw exceptions in case like above instead of generating warnings.

Manual
======

[](#manual)

Add the following code at the beginning of your PHP script to throw exceptions (when possible) when a PHP warning, error, or notice occurs.

```
use SetBased\ErrorHandler\ErrorHandler;

$handler = new ErrorHandler();
$handler->registerErrorHandler();
```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

This package can be installed using composer:

```

```
