Re: Possibility to add finally to try/catch?

Hi, Dmitri Great that someone's mentioning it. I thought about that several times but did not put it in here. This is a must-have for me. Really useful if you're working with external resources (streams, database connection etc). I used a destructor until now for stuff like that but there are some situations where a destructor won't be called. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2385047/when-will-destruct-not-be-called-in-php Bye Simon 2012/2/28 Paul Dragoonis <dragoonis@gmail.com> > Tried to do something the other day and had to write something a bit quirky > tht would have been super clean with a finally block. > > +1000 > > On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 2:22 PM, Kiall Mac Innes <kiall@managedit.ie> > wrote: > > > +1000 > > > > This is a feature that I've always wanted in PHP, My main reason being to > > reduce code duplication. eg > > > > try { > > $fh = fopen($filename); > > > > // Do some work on the file + encounter an error. > > throw new Exception(); > > } catch (Exception $e) { > > // Log an error or something > > } finally { > > fclose($fh); > > } > > > > Thanks, > > Kiall > > > > > > On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Dmitri Snytkine < > > dsnytkine@ultralogistics.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > This is another feature that we know we can live without > > > but those familiar with languages that have 'finally' like Java or > Python > > > know that > > > it is very neat feature to have in some situations. > > > > > > Basically the code inside 'finally' is guaranteed to run even if there > > is a > > > 'return' inside try or catch blocks > > > in which case the value to be returned is remembered tempraraly, the > code > > > inside finally block executes and then remembered value is returned. > > > > > > > > > Dmitri Snytkine > > > Web Developer > > > Ultra Logistics, Inc. > > > Phone: (888) 220-4640 x 2097 > > > Fax: (888) 795-6642 > > > E-Mail: dsnytkine@ultralogistics.com > > > Web: www.ultralogistics.com > > > > > > "A Top 100 Logistics I.T.
