note 112487 added to language.exceptions

One thing the documentation doesn't mention is that, just like Java, you can have a finally block after a try block, without any catch block at all. This is very useful, because you can put all your cleanup code in the finally block and it's executed whether there's an exception thrown or not, but if an exception is thrown it can be caught some place else with the knowledge that the failed operation was already properly cleaned up after. <?php try { throw new Exception ('I'm not caught in this try/ block!'); } finally { echo 'This is where my cleanup logic goes'; } http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17208838/php-5-5-and-try-finally ---- Server IP: 94.76.225.145 Probable Submitter: 82.31.125.253 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112487 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112487 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112487 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
