can you trigger_error() inside error handler?

[sneakyimp]

I'm writing a custom error handler. I'm wondering how to handle errors inside my error handler. Can I call trigger_error() inside the error handler or will it result in an infinite loop?

set_error_handler('error_handler_function');

  function error_handler_function($error_type,
                                  $error_msg,
                                  $error_file,
                                  $error_line,
                                  $error_context) {

switch($error_type) {
  case E_ERROR:
    // this should never happen
  case E_USER_ERROR:
    // echo? die?
    break;
  case E_WARNING:
  case E_USER_WARNING:
    // echo? die?
    break;
  case E_NOTICE:
  case E_USER_DEFAULT:
    // echo? die?
    break;
  default:
    // UNRECOGNIZED ERROR TYPE
    trigger_error("UNRECOGNIZED ERROR TYPE", E_USER_ERROR);
} // switch error type

  }

I don't know - I've never tried it....I presume you're right, and that it will keep recursing until it either hits an error code it does recognise, or its stack overflows.
