This bug has been fixed in SVN.

If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on
pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET).

If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should
be live shortly.

Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release.

Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.

Description:
------------
On the page: 
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.errors.php

Section: "Rethrowing an exception"

The example code is missing the dollar sign in "catch (... e)" 
and "throw new 
...(..., e);", resulting in a parse error.

Also, these custom exceptions apparently support chaining, in 
a way 
incompatible with PHP 5.3's native support. This should 
probably be noted, 
or the sample updated.

P.S. Not that it matters, but the PHP version dropdown on the 
bug report 
form ends at 5.2.5, although the official release is up to 5.2.12 
by now.

Expected result:
----------------
No errors (under E_STRICT|E_ALL as specified elsewhere in the 
PEAR coding standards).

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting 
T_VARIABLE in ...
