Catcher is a Throwable catcher and error handling library for PHP. Error handling is accomplished using a stack-based approach.
Catcher uses classes called _handlers_ to handle throwables sent its way. PHP is currently in a state of flux when it comes to errors. There are traditional PHP errors which are triggered in userland by using `trigger_error()` which can't be caught using `try`/`catch` and are generally a pain to work with. PHP has begun to remedy this problem by introducing the `\Error` class and its various child classes. However, a lot of functions and core aspects of the language itself continue to use legacy errors. This class does away with this pain point in PHP by turning all errors into throwables. Non user-level fatal errors are picked up by Catcher using its shutdown handler. This means that simply by invoking Catcher one may now... catch (almost) any error PHP then handles.

However, a lot of functions and core aspects of the language itself continue to use legacy errors. This class does away with this pain point in PHP by turning all errors into throwables. When Catcher converts legacy errors into throwables it will only exit if PHP would, so warnings, notices, etc. won't cause the program to exit unless you configure it to do so. Non user-level fatal errors are picked up by Catcher using its shutdown handler. This means that simply by invoking Catcher one may now... catch (almost) any error PHP then handles.
