Still, we adopted several concepts from the PEAR error handling, so most of the uses who already have been familiar with PEAR were able to use patError without the need to learn a lot of new concepts.
patError has been developed as we needed a simple tool to unify the error management in all our different projects such as patTemplate, patForms or patBBCode. Although we liked the error handling provided by PEAR, we did not want to use it, as we did not want to force our users to use PEAR in combination with our tools.
The documentation is in wiki form to make for easier maintenance and was created to provide some much needed insight into how this integral class works.
