Throwing exceptions in the SPL autoloader?

Question

Is there a way to throw exceptions from the SPL autoloader in PHP if it fails? It does not work in PHP 5.2.11.

class SPLAutoLoader{

    public static function autoloadDomain($className) {
        if(file_exists('test/'.$className.'.class.php')){
            require_once('test/'.$className.'.class.php');
            return true;
        }       

        throw new Exception('File not found');
    }

} //end class

//start
spl_autoload_register( array('SPLAutoLoader', 'autoloadDomain') );

try{
    $domain = new foobarDomain();
}catch(Exception $c){
    echo 'File not found';
}

When the above code is called, there is no exception sign, instead I get the standard "Fatal error: class" foobarDomain "not found in bla". And the completion of the script ends.

Answer 1

This is not a mistake, a design decision :

Note . Exceptions thrown at __autoloadcannot be detected in the block catchand lead to a fatal error.

, , class_exists true ( , true ):

if (class_exists('foobarDomain', $autoload = true)) {
    $domain = new foobarDomain();
} else {
    echo 'Class not found';
}

spl_autoload_register, , , , .

class SPLAutoLoader{

    public static function autoloadDomain($className) {
        if(file_exists('test/'.$className.'.class.php')){
            require_once('test/'.$className.'.class.php');
            return true;
        }       
        self::throwFileNotFoundException();
    }

    public static function throwFileNotFoundException()
    {
        throw new Exception('File not found');
    }

} //end class
