Doc #68290 [NEW]: "finally" keyword barely explained
From: jeroen at asystance dot nl
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:"finally" keyword barely explained
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.exceptions
---
The example (#2) given to illustrate the "finally" keyword works exactly
the same (i.e. produces the same output) without finally. Therefore, the
documentation does not show any benefit to using it, nor does it make
clear how it affects the execution flow.
Fortunately, there are a few user contributed notes which show effects
of finally. It should however not be up to users to explain basic
syntax, especially since there are apparently some non-intuitive aspects
(e.g. finally block being run _after_ return in the try block).
