<p class="para">
PHP 5 has an exception model similar to that of other programming languages.
An exception can be <i>throw</i>n, and caught
("<i>catch</i>ed") within PHP. Code may be surrounded in a
<i>try</i> block, to facilitate the catching of potential
exceptions. Each <i>try</i> must have at least one
corresponding <i>catch</i> block. Multiple
<i>catch</i> blocks can be used to catch different classes of
exeptions. Normal execution (when no exception is thrown within the
<i>try</i> block, or when a <i>catch</i> matching
the thrown exception's class is not present) will continue after that last catch
block defined in sequence. Exceptions can be <i>throw</i>n (or
re-thrown) within a <i>catch</i> block.
</p>
<p class="para">
When an exception is thrown, code following the statement will not be
executed, and PHP will attempt to find the first matching
<i>catch</i> block. If an
exception is not caught, a PHP Fatal Error will be issued with an
"<i>Uncaught Exception ...</i>" message, unless a handler has
been defined with <a href="function.set-exception-handler.php" class="function">set_exception_handler()</a>.
</p>
<blockquote><p><b class="note">Note</b>:
Internal PHP functions mainly use
<a href="errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting" class="link">Error reporting</a>, only modern
<a href="language.oop5.php" class="link">Object oriented</a>
extensions use exceptions. However, errors can be simply translated to
exceptions with <a href="class.errorexception.php" class="link">ErrorException</a>.

The <a href="intro.spl.php" class="link">Standard PHP Library (SPL)</a> provides a
good number of built-in exceptions.
