In the current version of PHP, many built-in functions (if not all?) return FALSE on an error and some resource/handle on a success. So, instead of coding like this: ... $res = some_builtin_func(); // func does not raise exception on error if (!$res) throw new Exception(); // so I throw it manually ... I want to write: ... $res = some_builtin_func(); // func raises exception on error // so I don't need to write additional lines ... So will PHP5 (or future versions) work as in my 2nd example?
