Error Handler Class

This class will process any Exceptions thrown by the program. Any thrown Exceptions should be sent to the Exception Handler through the trigger method. This can be done either by sending a thrown Exception to the handler, creating a new Exception and sending the object to trigger, or by using the trigger_error() function.

 try {
 		if ( // test condition failes ) {
 			throw new Gumbo_Exception ("message");
 		}
 		// successful test
 		...
 } catch (Exception $e) {
 		if ($e instanceof Gumbo_Interface_Exception) {
 			$e->setFunction (__METHOD__);
 		}
 		Gumbo_Error_Handler::trigger ($e);
 }

 $e = new Gumbo_Exception ("message", ERROR_LEVEL, __FILE__, __LINE__, __METHOD__);
 Gumbo_Error_Handler::trigger ($e);

 trigger_error ("message", ERROR_LEVEL);

The class file provides a simple function that wraps the trigger method. This function is simply called 'trigger (...)'. This will help from having to type the entire static class method.
