#31250 [Opn->Csd]: "Try" is a Control Structure, not an Object

ID: 31250 Updated by: mez@php.net Reported By: rampant at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: WinXP PHP Version: Irrelevant Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-29 13:47:59] vrana@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Moved directly under the Language Reference. (Leaving open to not forget to move user notes after manual rebuild.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-22 17:22:30] rampant at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The documentation for "try" and "catch" is in the "Classes and Objects" chapter of the manual. Throw, Try and Catch control the flow of execution much like "if" does. They make use of the Exception class, just as "if" works on booleans - and just as if is not put into the "Types" chapter, we shouldn't expect to find try and catch in the "Classes and Objects" chapter. Expected result: ---------------- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php try, catch and throw would ba added to the list on the above page, and the exceptions content would be moved there from the http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.exceptions.php page. Actual result: -------------- Exceptions are hidden away in the Classes and Objects chapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31250&edit=1
