I'm a big -1, I don't see a big reason for wrapping all my code in a
try/catch block when im writing flat out procedural for example, PHP
isn't an OO-only language, if you need to catch such errors via
exceptions you can simply do it by having a custom error handler and
the ErrorException as you linked to, like:

set_error_handler(function($severity, $message, $file = NULL, $line =
NULL, $context = NULL)
{
        if(!(error_reporting() & $severity))
        {
                return;
        }

        throw new ErrorException($message, 0, $severity, $file, $line,
$context);
});

I don't know if PHP should adopt code into the core that can be done
in less than 10 lines, however with an ini setting it might work as
long its off by default, but I'm not sure how many others here are
happy about adding another ini setting for this.


ps. Fix your email when posting
