Oh, I agree and working with C# makes me really understand how limited the PHP exception / error handling process is.

That bit of obvious error-generating code was also just an example of something that would definitely generate an error/exception, since current actual issue is that am meant to be using/operating within someone else's sort of containing framework/wrappers, and means can't always be sure what code will work, or generate an error, etc., and just don't want to have to specifically check for all function definitions using function_exists(), etc. etc., but anyway. Also just that, in most other languages, there is some or other, relatively simple way to handle something like a try - catch exception - and just perform some other action methodology, so was just wondering...?

You still have to suppress the error through one of several methods (using @ or custom error handler that does not display it) AND then you have to throw an exception manually. I fact, I don't even know how you would write one for that type of error. Live to hear some more input.
