exception throw from __autoload could not be catched on php 5.3.1

[Eric Lee <pgeric@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi php-dev pros,

I got an issue about catching exception throw from __autoload on php 5.3.1.

The manual state that exception throw from __autoload could be catched with
try.. catch statement same as the normal flow.

But I'can archive that even I have copied the same sample code from the
manual.

Here are the code segment.

[[[
function __autoload($name) {
   echo "Want to load $name.\n";
   throw new Exception("Unable to load $name.");
}

try {
   $obj = new NonLoadableClass();
} catch (Exception $e) {
   echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}

]]]

Are there anyone experienced this or not ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards,
Eric,
