Technically, it should be quite easy to have that available, but it might become tricky to handle cases like: foo(throw exception()); or even "throw throw throw new Foo;" ? :) Also, I consider "or die" patterns to be a bad idea, extending it for exceptions might make it a tad bit better, but I still find that bad because of i.e. non trivial precedence rules: include("foo") or throw new Exception("ads"); it will neither include "foo" nor throw any exception. > > -- > regards, > > Kalle Sommer Nielsen > kalle@php.net > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- Etienne Kneuss http://www.colder.ch
