If I can't use exceptions for application logic, why should I bother with using exceptions at all when there is trigger_error() and die()?
If you use exceptions for application logic, then you're writing bad code, regardless of the language! It's one of the cases of clear over-design. Exception handling provides an OO way of handling errors, that is more fine-grained than set_error_handler() and trigger_error(). Nothing more, nothing less.
