PHP RFC: Introduce Throwable interface and Error class
- Version: 0.9
- Date: 2015-03-15
- Author: Sebastian Bergmann sebastian@php.net
- Status: Draft
- First Published at: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/throwable
Introduction
PHP 7 replaces existing fatal or recoverable fatal errors with exceptions. While the respective RFC was already in voting, I proposed a change to the exception hierarchy it used (see below).
Proposal
This RFC proposes the following changes to PHP 7's exception hierarchy:
- Introduce a
Throwable
interface - Let
Exception
implement theThrowable
interface - Introduce an
Error
class that implements theThrowable
interface - Use
Error
class as base class for exceptions raised by the engine
Backward Incompatible Changes
Error
and Throwable
are no longer available as names in the global namespace.
Proposed PHP Version(s)
PHP 7
