1.2.1200. Throw Raw Exceptions

Avoid throwing native PHP exceptions. Consider defining specific and meaningful exception, by extending the native one. Thanks to Atif Shahab Qureshi for the inspiration.

<?php

// Throwing a raw exception
throw new exception('This is an error!');

class myException extends Exception {}

throw new myException('This is a distinguished error!');

?>
