note 8470 added to Error Handling

Hi there php experts; I'm wondering how can i handle exceptions like java [try{...} catch{}] way. My goal is to take a block of instruction and catch any error at the end. This helps me to have one condition for one block that i can determine, rather than "polluating" code with multiple if then else...... here's a deseperate attempt, the problem is that the execution continue after ther error; error_reporting(0); $t1 = 123; $t2 = 0; $total = $t1/$t2; //.... if ($php_errormsg) echo "error = $php_errormsg"; thanks http://www.php.net/manual/features.error-handling.php
