I don't have a good sulotion.
but I definitely dis-agree of throwing exception anywhere..
People like me, like PHP is because it's simple, liking C .
if you throw exception anywhere, then it will be a nightmare for me..
I don't care about what exact error happned, in most cases it runs
well, if it failed, I can go to error log to find out why.
but:
try {
file_put_contents();
} catch () {
}
try {
file_put_contents();
} catch () {
}
try {
file_put_contents();
} catch () {
}
.....
