Question

Most functions in PHP returns true/false:

var_dump (is_int ("1")); // false

Can I configure PHP to return exceptions instead of boolean ?

try {is_int ("1")} catch (Exception $e) {exit ($e->getMessage ());}

Thanks.

Couldn’t you just use a throw?

<?php

function myFunction($var)
{    
    if(!(is_int($var))
    {
        throw new Exception('Custom message about the error');
    }
}

?>

And the just have a try/catch block to catch your issue?

<?php
try
{
    myFunction(1);
    myFunction("1");
}
catch
{
    echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
?>
