Re: Simple error handling/catching/avoidance

Yup.

That bit of obvious error-generating code was also just an example of 
something that would definitely generate an error/exception, since current 
actual issue is that am meant to be using/operating within someone else's 
sort of containing framework/wrappers, and means can't always be sure what 
code will work, or generate an error, etc., and just don't want to have to 
specifically check for all function definitions using function_exists(), 
etc. etc., but anyway.

Also just that, in most other languages, there is some or other, relatively 
simple way to handle something like a try - catch exception - and just 
perform some other action methodology, so was just wondering...?

It's the reason why I can't stand exceptions in PHP, we talked about this a 
bunch at our meeting on Wednesday.

You still have to suppress the error through one of several methods (using @ 
or custom error handler that does not display it)

AND then you have to throw an exception manually.

I fact, I don't even know how you would write one for that type of error. 
Live to hear some more input.
