PEAR_Error is not implemented

[liesauer]

i try to compile ecshop project which is a famous online mall system(at least in china) and get this error:

/Users/imac/Projects/ecsharp/Website/ecshop/upload/includes/shopex_json.php(820,39): error PHP4044: Type name 'PEAR_Error' could not be resolved. [/Users/imac/Projects/ecsharp/Website/Website.msbuildproj]

btw, @jakubmisek do u mind opening a ECShop project?

PHP4044 indicated the class does not exist and is needed to compile the code properly. You can workaround it by commenting out the piece of code using PEAR_Error.

We don't have any plans to support PEAR since it is a deprecated functionality.

ECShop is a nice idea, however we don't have a plan to support it by ourselves - at least we can assist you with issues and fix what is necessary.

in WordPress we workaround PEAR_Error by commenting the code out

@liesauer we'll open ECShop project but with a note that we are not responsible :)

[liesauer]

ok

[jakubmisek]

test case:

class Err extends PEAR_Error {
}

Got hit by the same error, but this time with latest Wordpress, version 5.2.3.
Edit: it's from wordpress\wp-includes\class-json.php (918,39)

yes, we are removing the use PEAR_Error from the sources for now

Closing the issue:

Workaround #1: add dummy PEAR_Error class into your code
Workaround #2: remove (Exclude) code that uses PEAR_Error since it is probably not being used anyways
