Introduction

The HTML_CSS package is implemented with a flexible error handler plug-in system. You may use any error handler that you want. Using PEAR_Error object (default), but also the PEAR_ErrorStack package, or any other error handler you might want to plug in.

Without any configuration, each HTML_CSS API error (basic or exception) will raise a HTML_CSS_Error object that will be return to call script (user script).

	Tip
	Easy to distinct basic PEAR_Error from other PEAR packages to HTML_CSS errors, even if there is a better and more robust solution: `HTML_CSS::isError()`. But also provide a unique way to retrieve the level of error (warning, error, exception) with the `HTML_CSS_Error::getLevel()` method.

As usual you can use the PEAR error API as well.

<?php
require_once 'HTML/CSS.php';
$css = new HTML_CSS();
$result = $css->setStyle('div', 'color', 5);
if (PEAR::isError($result)) {
// do something when an error is raised
}
?>

and output to screen will give something like :

Exception: invalid input, parameter #3 "$value" was expecting "string",
instead got "integer" in html_css->setstyle (file [path_to]\[filename] on line 6)

	error level
	message body with context informations
	call context

Perhaps this standard behavior is not what you want. Don't worry, you can change everything :

display or ignore the error
display or hide part of message (error level, body, context)

	Important
	HTML_CSS obey at display_errors and log_errors protocol
