Throwing exception within exception handler

Question

I have a script with an exception handler. This exception handler cleans up a couple connections, prior to the script exiting after an exception.

I would like to re-thr

Answer 1

You can not re-throw from the exception handler, however, there are other places you can. For example you can de-couple the re-throw from the handler by encapsulating things into a class of it's own and then use the __destruct() function (PHP 5.3, Demo):

rethrow = $exception;
    }
    public function __destruct()
    {
        if ($this->rethrow) throw $this->rethrow;
    }
}

$handler = new ExceptionHandler;

throw new Exception();

Put this into my error log:

[29-Oct-2011 xx:32:25] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' in /.../test-exception.php:23
Stack trace:
