[horde] Horde_Exception leads to PHP-Error

[stephan at admin.nabira.de]

Hi everyone,

I almost forgot this problem, but obviously I have found a dirty  
workaround for this problem, since I'm testing horde4 and posting bug  
reports. ;)

After commenting out everything except the part inside the "this"  
bracket of the if statement, the PHP_Fatal_ERROR was gone. However I  
assume, that this breaks support for PHP Versions >= 5.3.0. So I  
recommend to use this "fix" with caution!

diff of lines commented out of Horde/Exception.php (framework):

2c2
< //if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
---
> if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
67c67
< //} else {
---
> } else {
79,80c79,80
< //    class Horde_Exception extends Exception
< //    {
---
>     class Horde_Exception extends Exception
>     {
87,89c87,89
< //        public $details;
< //    }
< //}
---
>         public $details;
>     }
> }
