In the current version of PHP, many built-in functions (if not all?)
return FALSE on an error and some resource/handle on a success.
So, instead of coding like this:
...
$res = some_builtin_func(); // func does not raise exception on error
if (!$res)
throw new Exception(); // so I throw it manually
...
I want to write:
...
$res = some_builtin_func(); // func raises exception on error
// so I don't need to write additional lines
...
So will PHP5 (or future versions) work as in my 2nd example?
