"PHP also now supports a whole host of object oriented features, if that suits your fancy. You'll find abstract classes for prototyping, use of the final classes to prevent further subclassing. PHP also supports overloading, thus multiple functions with the same name but different parameters, allow the PHP interpreter to choose which function to call at runtime. You'll also find private and protected member variables as well as constructors, and destructors.
"PHP also has great exception handling with the TRY, CATCH & THROW syntax. An example of how you might use this might be if you were going to perform a division. You could put a TRY before it, then a CATCH section displaying an error if you divide by zero."
