PHP++ for finally in PHP ;)
my code:
disableSIPTrunk (10 lines of code)
try
{
// do some stuff
}
finally
{
enableSIPTrunk (10 lines of code)
}
// saves duplicate code and it's very elegant !

Disable user permission checking
try
{
Call a half a dozen methods
}
finally
{
Re-enable user permission checking
}

The ten year old discussion I found on the issue
(http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=96774165717219&w=3) doesn't seem
terribly applicable to my case. Specifically, it suggests:
---
try {
... modify contents ...
} catch {
... any error recovery code here ...
}
... cleanup code ...
---
Except my code doesn't 'recover' from errors. It runs back up the call
stack and reports the error to the user. I have absolutely zero use for
a catch here. My workaround (which, unlike a basic rethrow preserves the
line/file):
---
Disable permission checking
try
{
Run methods
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
Enable permission checking
throw new Exception($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e);
}
Enable permission checking
---
The workaround simply requires a few extra lines of code and a bunch of
duplicated code. But hey, finally isn't required, so it's all good.

+++ for finally in PHP. It is one of the most elegant and expressive
keywords in modern programming, allowing precise capture of error
handling semantics, and easy authorship of bug-free code!

I agree with the previous comments, a 'finally' keyword would be nice
and useful when it fits to the conventions and standards applied in a
project. If it's not hairy to implement and wouldn't introduce
instability in the core, I'd reassure PHP developers to add this feature
in a future release.
Best regards,

"and he didn't the first which closed the"
and he didn't explained in his comment why is it rejected, aside the
fact that we (who?) dont't need it
