How can I get around the lack of a finally block in PHP?

Question

PHP prior to version 5.5 has no finally block - i.e., whereas in most sensible languages, you can do:

try {
   //do something
} catch(Exception ex) {
   //ha         


        

Answer 1

I just finished writing a more elegant Try Catch Finally class which may be of use to you. There are some drawbacks but they can be worked around.
