# Exceptions... wiiee :D

Ok, so this is gonna sound like i'm a complete n00b, but i've recently fallen in
love with Exception handling in PHP5 :$ .

Ok, so this is gonna sound like i'm a complete n00b, but i've recently fallen in
love with Exception handling in PHP5 :$ .

The reason why i never even looked at it before, is cause i've always strived
for PHP4 compatibility, but with this latest project (more on it at a later date
;) ), PHP4 has gone out the window :D .

As for updates, not much, but i did recently upload a new quick PHP function to
[Code Yard](http://zhuoqe.org/svn/codeyard/) (dead link). It's called
[`dir_exists()`](http://zhuoqe.org/svn/codeyard/trunk/php/functions/dir_exists.func.php)
(dead link). It's useful for checking if a directory exists, and if not, it will
create it recursively, and return true or false. It works in PHP 4 and 5, in 4
it simply loops to create all required dirs since mkdir() doesn't support the
recursive argument.

Thats it for now, more updates soon, i've just been really busy the last few
weeks with shit... GRRR
