[quote] Note: Attempting to throw an exception from a destructor (called in the time of script termination) causes a fatal error. [/quote] Not true. Usually you wont be able to catch an Exception thrown out of a ::__destruct(). BUT following case shows that it IS possible to catch a thrown Exception from the ::__destruct() <?php class Something { public function __construct() { echo __METHOD__ . PHP_EOL; } public function __destruct() { echo __METHOD__ . PHP_EOL; throw new Exception("Exception thrown out of ::__destruct()", 1); } } try{ $Something = new Something(); $Something = null; // will cause to call the objects ::__destruct() // also possible: unset($Something); }catch(Exception $e){ echo 'Exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL; } echo 'End of script -- no Fatal Error.'; ?> IMO this is not a bug. It is ok to be able to throw and catch Exception. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 178.24.94.13 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117693 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117693 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117693 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
