It is a problem trying to maintain code for different versions of PHP,
especially where there are syntax differences. It would be really nice to have
some sort of conditional compilation as in C. Eg:
It would be nice to be able to do something like:
try {
....
# if PHP_VERSION_ID > 50500
} catch(PDOException $e) {
....
} finally {
... tidy up
}
# else
} catch(PDOException $e) {
... tidy up not quite where I want it
....
}
# endif
OK: '#' might not be a good character since it is start of comment, but that is
the idea.
