Or will it encourage try ... ignore (Exception)? I have to admit that I'm also a sceptic of converting every possible info/warning/error to an Exception but that's a different topic ;-) If we decide to add something like the above I would very much prefer the try ... ignore block to be an expression with value null on error, making the first line obsolete. One could still use $lines = try file($filepath) ignore (FileLockedException) ?? []; if another default value is preferred. Regards, - Chris
