Hello Scott,
Thanks. I'll read up on it now...and post my thoughts.
Before I read I'll ask this question. What's the difference between
this example below and what you just explained?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/webdev$ php test.php
Gotcha!
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/webdev$ cat test.php
<?php
function a($val)
{
if ( $val < 0 ) return FALSE;
if ( $val >= 0 ) return TRUE;
}
if ( a(-1) )
{
printf("Not here\n");
}
else
{
printf("Gotcha!\n");
}
- Ben

I see ample use of try/catch. Why? Why is it better/different than
if/else?
You are talking about two completely different things here. If/else is for
testing a condition. Try/catch is for handling exceptions. If an exception
is thrown within a try/catch block the code in the catch section will be
executed. The two are not interchangeable. You should read up on exception
handling if you think you may need to use try/catch.
