RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Exceptions instead of Fatal Error when calling non existent method?

Also, it will allow PHP applications to recover more gracefully from this sort of error. A properly designed PHP application that already has global catch blocks and some 500 error pages will have this sort of error come under that same error handling process rather then give an ugly blank page. I think it will make PHP look more professional altogether.
