That's one interpretation, but it doesn't really hold up in all cases. Consider a catch statement that needs to filter more granularly than the class name; since you already mentioned PDO, I'll make an example with that: catch ( PDOException $e ) {

    if ( substr($e->getCode(), 0, 2) === '08' ) {
        $this->reconnect();
    } else {
        throw $e;
    }

} Of what value to a subsequent catch statement is the trace of that throw statement? And why does that "start a new exception flow", but if PDO threw different sub-classes, you could let one flow through unmodified by tightening the catch statement? Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
