Some help of the engine would be good: - automatically set EH_THROW mode at "try" - automatically set EH_NORMAL mode at "catch" (first outmost catch)

Huh? I think it's definitely not obvious that I'd want these to happen automatically. Actually I personally wouldn't, because I'd prefer PHP to continue the way it works and only use exceptions in user-land.

If noone objects i will commit this on monday evening.

Please don't before this is discussed. We have discussed this kind of thing quite a few times and our opinion was that error handling in PHP shouldn't be changed. We wouldn't want some configuration switch to change how the scripts work nor is it a good idea if the same script behaves differently according to one switch. Anyway, we can discuss this again but definitely I don't think we should jump the gun with commits in this area until people really think of the whole picture. We have a large user base out there and we still want all of the user-base to "talk" in the same language. I won't really be around for the next two weeks so maybe it's best to wait or in the least make sure Zeev takes part in this discussion. Thanks, Andi P.S. -BTW, what does SQLite do?
