Example #1 assert_options() example
<?php
// This is our function to handle
// assert failures
function assert_failure()
{
echo 'Assert failed';
}
// This is our test function
function test_assert($parameter)
{
assert(is_bool($parameter));
}
// Set our assert options
assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, true);
assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL, true);
assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, false);
assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'assert_failure');
// Make an assert that would fail
test_assert(1);
// This is never reached due to ASSERT_BAIL
// being true
echo 'Never reached';
