In many cases this can be done by refactoring to a method:
public function main()
{
$in = fopen('whatever');
$this->whereTheStuffWent($in);
fclose($in);
}
protected function whereTheStuffWent($in)
{
try {
// Do stuff that might throw an exception
} catch (Exception $e)
{
// Log it or something
}
}
The while loop case in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36779 could be
dealt with by returning a result from whereTheStuffWent and breaking
out if it's set. Not too bad. finally { } might be a little more
convenient than this I suppose:
$finished = $this->whereTheStuffWent($in);
fclose($in);
if ($finished)
{
break;
}
