Is there any native PHP function which throws an built-in Exception?

Question

While answering PHP rename() doesn't throws exception on error I was wondering if there are any native PHP functions which throw a built-in Exception, beside the SPL stuff?

Answer 1

Not really. If you read the note on that page you linked:

Note:

Internal PHP functions mainly use Error reporting, only modern Object oriented extensions use exceptions. However, errors can be simply translated to exceptions with ErrorException.

Answer 2

PDO can be configured to throw exceptions

Answer 3

PHP 5 has an exception model similar to that of other programming languages.

ErrorException
