Evening Chaps,


     Following on from discussion regarding assertion API in PHP, the

following RFC is now up for discussion:


     https://wiki.php.net/rfc/expectations



     Please do point out any missing sections or information, so that it

can be clarified as quickly as possible.


     I hope this conveys the idea a bit clearer to everyone ?


Cheers

I like it, but I'd rather we just called them what they are and use
AssertionException, because expect is really just a new assert
statement, with a different name to avoid conflicting with assert() for
backwards-compatibility :)

Otherwise, I have no objections.

Thanks.


I thought about it ...

For the sake of making the concept as simple as possible to convey in documentation, it is probably better to have a uniform name:

Expect throwing ExpectationException is intuitive to some degree, Expect throwing an AssertionException seems less so ...

Cheers
Joe
