From: oalpert@sister.tv ("Israel Alpert")

Can somebody help me stop the flood of income e-mails from PHP?

I've signed to the newsletter and, during the last two month, made many
attempts to "unsubscribe" - none works and I am getting 100's of e-mails
from you.

Please take me off the mailing list!

It may be so that you can use exceptions as a sort of goto mechanism.=20
And from some perspective you may even find some similarities. However,=20
exceptions weren't invented for this purpose. (And they aren't=20
introduced into PHP for this reason.)

The main difference is that exceptions work with the *instance* of your=20
code. (Enable you to fall back to some place in your OO structure.) Goto

can't do that.
