Dec 19, 2012 at 22:53 comment added johannes Well, there are people who don't like exceptions but goto. It's a free world ;-)
Dec 19, 2012 at 22:36 comment added yannis @MasonWheeler PHP got finally fairly recently, and after it got goto.
Dec 19, 2012 at 22:13 comment added Mason Wheeler goto cleanup? Seriously? Why not just implement a real try-finally construct? (Does PHP have one?)
