Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function loader($class) { @include_once($class.'.php'); if (!class_exists($class, false)) { throw new Exception("Class ".$class." not found"); } } spl_autoload_register('loader'); try{ class FooClass extends Some_Not_Existing_Class {} } catch (Exception $e) { echo "Caught load class failed exception (".$e->getMessage().")."; } Expected result: ---------------- Caught load class failed exception (Class Some_Not_Existing_Class not found). Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'Some_Not_Existing_Class' not found in C:\dev\workspace\foo.php on line 19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50246&edit=1
