Finally Cleanup

A finally block runs after try or catch, so cleanup can happen in one place.

finally_cleanup.php

<?php
$mode = ;
$closed = "no";

try {
    if ($mode !== "save") {
        throw new Exception($mode);
    }

    $status = "saved";
} catch (Exception $error) {
    $status = "recovered_" . $error->getMessage();
} finally {
    $closed = "yes";
}

echo "mode=" . $mode . "\n";
echo "status=" . $status . "\n";
echo "closed=" . $closed . "\n";

<?php
$mode = ;
$closed = "no";

try {
    if ($mode !== "save") {
        throw new Exception($mode);
    }

    $status = "saved";
} catch (Exception $error) {
    $status = "recovered_" . $error->getMessage();
} finally {
    $closed = "yes";
}

echo "mode=" . $mode . "\n";
echo "status=" . $status . "\n";
echo "closed=" . $closed . "\n";

<?php
$mode = ;
$closed = "no";

try {

        throw new Exception($mode);
    }

    $status = "saved";
} catch (Exception $error) {
    $status = "recovered_" . $error->getMessage();
} finally {
    $closed = "yes";
}

echo "mode=" . $mode . "\n";
echo "status=" . $status . "\n";
echo "closed=" . $closed . "\n";
