ID: 32100 Comment by: andrew dot feller at gmail dot com Reported by: ceefour at gauldong dot net Summary: Request 'finally' support for exceptions Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.* Assigned To: laruence Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It has been nearly 3 weeks but this fix cannot be found in PHP trunk at http://snaps.php.net/ Was there a build this was slated to be included within? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-13 13:49:22] larue...@php.net This bug has been fixed in SVN. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-03 04:47:29] ceefour at gauldong dot net This is awesome ! My next suggestion would be automatic resource management. e.g. in Scala : import resource._ val first_ten_bytes = managed(new FileInputStream("test.txt")) map { input => val buffer = new Array[Byte](10) input.read(buffer) buffer } or in Java 7 : static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException { try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) { return br.readLine(); } } But "finally" as it stands already rocks!!! Hopefully we can see it in PHP sooner than later..... We've been waiting for a little bit too long (7 years) ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-03 04:38:39] ceefour at gauldong dot net Finally! :-) Thanks a lot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-26 02:10:42] larue...@php.net RFC complete, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/finally ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-25 23:44:07] pravdin at vl dot ru We are writing large web application on PHP using the OOP and programming patterns. Exceptions are not only error reporting mechanism but also very important program flow mechanism. So, try...finally is commonly needed. Please add this feature. I know, PHP is not OOP, but I think there is no reason to limit developers needs, especially when this needs are not for just a few single developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
