The attached example demonstrates an exception being thrown and never being caught, even though there's an appropriate catch block. While 5.5 behaves worse, e.g. you end up with an exception you can't catch, this behaviour is still present in 5.6 and 7: http://3v4l.org/3UF6O Test script: --------------- try { echo "Outer try\n"; try { echo " Middle try\n"; throw new Exception(); } finally { echo " Middle finally\n"; try { echo " Inner try\n"; } finally { echo " Inner finally\n"; } } echo "Outer shouldnt get here\n"; } catch (Exception $e) { echo "Outer catch\n"; } finally { echo "Outer finally\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- Outer try Middle try Middle finally Inner try Inner finally Outer catch Outer finally Actual result: -------------- Outer try Middle try Middle finally Inner try Inner finally Outer shouldnt get here Outer finally ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70012&edit=1
