Req #67312 [Com]: type hinting exception handling

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67312&edit=1 ID: 67312 Comment by: anon at anon dot anon Reported by: bhasker dot t dot an at gmail dot com Summary: type hinting exception handling Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: windows PHP Version: 5.4.28 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The 'throws' keyword is flawed and annoying enough in Java. I don't want it added to PHP too. If you want methods to be more self-documenting, you can put the exceptions they throw in a /** comment */. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-23 02:48:27] aharvey@php.net For reasons of consistency, this is unlikely to be changed unless all PHP errors are converted to exceptions, which is a much bigger undertaking. This would require an RFC and would almost certainly be something that would need to be in a new major version. I'm closing the request, as I think it's unlikely we'd add syntax to throw a specific exception in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-20 19:02:50] bhasker dot t dot an at gmail dot com Description: ------------ class a { protected function method_a(someClass $obj) { /// some code } } $a = new a(); $a->method_a('hellow'); //this throws an error Test script: --------------- class a { protected function method_a(someClass $obj) { /// some code } } $a = new a(); $a->method_a('hellow'); //this throws an error Expected result: ---------------- could be grate if there is possiblity to write like class a { protected function method_a(someClass $obj) throws someException { /// some code } } try { $a = new a(); $a->method_a('hellow'); }catch (someException $e){ //catch exception } Actual result: -------------- throwing fatal error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67312&edit=1
