Regarding all of the discussion about the unused variable:

If your catch blocks are too long or too complicated to be able to tell
that the variable is unused, then I highly suggest you refactor that
section.

To me, the only maybe-useful portion of this discussion would be the empty
catch which is more clear that it is a final resort catch than just
catching \Exception. Apparently the opinions on this are quite divided,
though.
