<para>
Used to trigger a user error condition, it can be used by in conjunction
with the built-in error handler, or with a user defined function that has
been set as the new error handler
(<function>set_error_handler</function>). It only works with the E_USER
family of constants, and will default to <constant>E_USER_NOTICE</constant>.
</para>
<para>
This function returns &false; if wrong <parameter>error_type</parameter> is
specified, &true; otherwise.
</para>
<para>
This function is useful when
you need to generate a particular response to an exception at runtime.
For example:
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
if (assert($divisor == 0)) {
trigger_error("Cannot divide by zero", E_USER_ERROR);
}
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
