Presumably this is because most of PHP’s I/O stuff still uses procedural APIs with error return values. One of the things I’d like to see happen, but don’t have the time to do myself, is get rid of the IS_RESOURCE type from PHP for PHP 7, and replace all instances with objects. As part of this, we’d need to convert streams to using objects, which would give us an opportunity to create a new OOP stream API, learning from our past mistakes and which uses exceptions. As part of that, I’m sure we’d add some I/O exceptions. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
