No, that is what you use codes for. You can always catch an Exception and throw it again if it's not "critical". E.g.: (I assume this is inside a class and a constant ERR_CRIT is defined.) try { ... } catch (Services_Foobar_Exception $e) { if ($e->getCode() == SELF::ERR_CRIT) { throw $e; } // error is not critical - we carry on } No one prohibits you from using true/false for a simple status.
