And how about a restart instead of resume? I have used try catch blocks as a
type of transactional block, so I think it would be nice if I could restart the
entire block instead of resuming from the last point where it failed:
$blue = 'blue';
try {
$data = a($blue);
b($data); // This throws the dataIntegrityException
c();
} catch (dataIntegrityException $e) {
$blue = 'is the new red';
restart; // executes a(), b() and c() again
} catch (Exception $e) {
rollback();
}
Greetings.
