Hi: 
     As the previous threads disscussed,  I make a implemention.

     here is the RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/finally

     any suggestions?
thanks
As PHP has destructors there is less need for "finally" compared to other languages. What are the cases where an extra language construct is needed? (i.e. one can also use C++-like RAII things ...) The RFC is also missing to demonstrate the order of finally calls in nested try-catch-blocks. johannes Tempfiles come to mind. Also, yes, PHP has destructors, but you are not always dealing with custom-made objects to handle this. And you may want something to happen before GC.
