 New Comment:

It has been nearly 3 weeks but this fix cannot be found in PHP trunk at http://snaps.php.net/  Was there a build this was slated to be
included within?

This is awesome !

My next suggestion would be automatic resource management.

e.g. in Scala :

import resource._
val first_ten_bytes = managed(new FileInputStream("test.txt")) map { 
  input =>
     val buffer = new Array[Byte](10)
     input.read(buffer)
     buffer
}

or in Java 7 :

static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
    try (BufferedReader br =
                   new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
        return br.readLine();
    }
}

But "finally" as it stands already rocks!!! Hopefully we can see it in PHP sooner than
later..... We've been waiting for a little bit too long (7 years) ;-)

We are writing large web application on PHP using the OOP and programming 
patterns. Exceptions are not only error reporting mechanism but also very 
important program flow mechanism. So, try...finally is commonly needed. Please add 
this feature. I know, PHP is not OOP, but I think there is no reason to limit 
developers needs, especially when this needs are not for just a few single 
developers.
