The exceptions are not a way of ending your script. die and exit are made for that. Exceptions are used to treat various cases and act accordingly. For example:

Code:

function do_division($a, $b)
{
    if( $b == 0 )
   {
        throw new Exception('The divisor cannot be 0!');
   }

    return ($a / $b);
}

try
{
    echo 'Result: ' . do_division(2, 0);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo $e->getMessage();
    
   // use some default values
   $a = 4;
   $b = 2;
}

// continue execution ...
